💨 Abstract

On July 22, 2025, federal records related to the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. were released. Following President Trump's order in January, records from the deaths of Robert F. Kennedy and King were declassified. King's family initially opposed the release but reviewed the documents beforehand. The release aims to provide transparency but has sparked skepticism about the timing and motivations of the administration.
