President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday he would release classified documents in the coming days related to the assassinations of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

President-elect said he would release government files about the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

The promise comes after the president-elect was tried in 2022 for willfully retaining highly classified documents from the White House after his first term

Donald Trump has pledged to release a slew of classified files when he enters the White House today, including the details of John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

Donald Trump has vowed to release a set of long-hidden government files on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. after he takes office in what he believes will be an effort to ramp up government transparency.

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.

Trump had made a similar promise during his 2017 to 2021 term, and he did release some documents related to JFK's 1963 murder. However, he later kept a significant chunk of documents under wraps, citing national security concerns following pressure from CIA and FBI.

Trump did not specify which documents would be released, and he did not promise a blanket declassification. Read more at straitstimes.com.
