Trump declassified documents on the assassinations of Kennedy and Martin Luther King

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 23 to declassify documents related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., reports CNN.

"This is a momentous occasion. Many people have been waiting for this for years and decades," Trump said as he signed the order in the Oval Office.

"Give this to R. F. Kennedy Jr.," he said, pointing to the pen he had used to sign the order. The pen was to be given to Trump's pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy's son and John Kennedy's nephew.

"Everything will be revealed," Trump concluded.

Most of the documents related to the Kennedy assassination have already been released, including about 13 declassified by the Biden administration. But many of them have been redacted.

"The families of the victims and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the best interest of the nation to declassify all records related to these killings as soon as possible," the White House order said.

The documents will not be released immediately. How this will happen, we read further: "Within 15 days of the date of this order, the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General shall, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security and the Legal Counsel to the President, submit a plan for the full and final release of the records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy."

The deadline for submitting records on the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King is 45 days.

In 2023, the National Archives completed its review of classified documents related to the 1963 Kennedy assassination. As CNN reported, 99% of the documents have already been released.

President Joe Biden at the time issued a memorandum confirming that archivists had completed their review of the documents and assured that the remaining documents scheduled for declassification had been released — in accordance with the previously established deadline.

Despite previous promises by presidents, including Trump, to declassify these documents, the CIA, Pentagon, and State Department continue to withhold some of the material from the public. The rationale for classification is based primarily on the need to protect the identities of sensitive sources who are or may be alive, and to protect intelligence methods.

When Trump was the 45th president, he agreed not to release all the assassination documents at the request of the intelligence agencies. But as part of his 2024 campaign, he has said he will release the remaining records.
