Rudolph Angler President Donald Trump ordered the release of long-hidden files on JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s killings.
Decades-Old Records to Be Disclosed
Trump signed an executive order mandating the full release of assassination files. “Everything will be revealed,” he said while finalizing the order. The directive compels the Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to act swiftly. Officials must create a plan for the JFK records within 15 days and RFK and MLK files within 45 days.
JFK was assassinated in Dallas in November 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald, the main suspect, was killed by Jack Ruby two days later, fueling conspiracy theories. Before the assassination, Oswald visited the Cuban consulate and the Soviet embassy in Mexico City. A CIA report suggested Oswald may have been preparing for an escape. Ruby’s ties to organized crime deepened suspicions of a larger conspiracy.
New Details on RFK and MLK Assassinations
Robert F. Kennedy was killed in June 1968 by Sirhan Sirhan after winning California’s Democratic primary. Sirhan’s lawyer once claimed his client was framed. Trump nominated RFK’s son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr., who believes the CIA was involved in his father’s and uncle’s deaths, has called for Sirhan’s parole, contrary to his siblings’ views.
Martin Luther King Jr. was killed in April 1968 by James Earl Ray. FBI documents revealed attempts to discredit King, including a 1964 letter urging him to commit suicide. A 1968 FBI analysis accused King of communist ties and criticized his personal conduct. The document detailed allegations about ministers attending King’s events and claimed inappropriate behavior occurred behind closed doors.
Implications of Declassified Files
The release of these files promises to shed light on decades of speculation. Trump emphasized transparency in addressing these controversial events. The newly released documents may bring clarity to theories involving government involvement and broader conspiracies surrounding these assassinations.
