Trump to Release Remaining Files on JFK, MLK, and RFK Assassinations
by Alfred Ignacio in PoliticsPresident Trump's executive order to release the remaining government files on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy has generated significant public interest. While the announcement fulfills a campaign promise, experts suggest the new information may not fully resolve the decades-old conspiracy theories surrounding these events. Past attempts to declassify these documents faced delays due to national security concerns. Although the official investigations concluded with lone gunman theories, public belief in conspiracies has remained high. The release of the JFK files, while significant, is unlikely to satisfy conspiracy theorists, with many believing either evidence was destroyed or remains hidden. The situation is more complex for the RFK assassination, with some agencies having already released their documents, but the CIA's potential withholding of information remains a concern. The MLK family, however, has expressed a desire to review the documents before public release and prefers a delay based on a previous agreement. The upcoming release of these documents promises to shed further light on these pivotal moments in American history, but whether it will definitively resolve the lingering mysteries remains to be seen.
