Donald Trump announced plans to expedite the release of files related to the assassinations of JFK, Robert Kennedy, and MLK.

Less than two weeks after the stock market shuttered for former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral, investors may be looking for another break on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This year, the annual day of remembrance for the civil rights leader happens to coincide with Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president.

Trump’s decision to release these files comes in the wake of strong advocacy from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of RFK, who has long pushed for the declassification of documents related to his uncle’s assassination.

“As the first step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will also reverse the over-classification of government documents,” he told supporters at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, on Sunday...

Members of John F. Kennedy's family, including RFK Jr., who has become a top ally to Trump, have long pressed the government to release the papers.
