The National Archives has published thousands of newly digitized documents relating to the 1968 assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as part of a directive by President Trump.
The release on Monday follows through on an executive order Trump signed days into his second term, requiring the release and declassification of records connected to King’s murder and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy — tragedies that have been the subject of curiosity and conspiracy theories for decades.
