Donald Trump, the United States President has taken a significant step towards transparency, ordering the declassification and release of all remaining files related to the assassinations of three American icons: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.
This move aims to shed light on the mysterious circumstances surrounding their deaths, which have been shrouded in conspiracy theories for over six decades.
Donald Trump’s executive order directs the Director of National Intelligence to present a plan for the full release of JFK assassination records within 15 days.
For the RFK and MLK assassinations, the plan is due within 45 days.
This decision marks a significant shift towards disclosure, as previous administrations have withheld these documents, citing national security concerns.
The President’s move has been a long time coming, with Donald Trump promising during his campaign to release the assassination records.
In June 2024, he reiterated this pledge, stating that he would declassify and unseal all JFK assassination-related documents, emphasizing that “it’s been 60 years, time for the American people to know the TRUTH!”
By releasing these documents, Trump hopes to provide closure and answers to the families of the victims and the American public.
The move is seen as a significant step towards transparency and accountability, and many are eagerly awaiting the revelations that will come with the release of these long-withheld files.
