"Americans deserve transparency and the truth," the president explained. Their deaths have long inspired conspiracy theories.
Donald Trump has signed an executive order declassifying documents related to John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. "Everything will be revealed. People have been waiting for this for years, decades," the president said, ordering the declassification of US government documents on the assassinations of President Kennedy in 1963, his brother Robert in 1968, as well as civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. the same year.
The time for declassification
"Americans deserve transparency and the truth. It is in our national interest to finally release the assassination files without delay," the order reads, in which Trump says that knowing what happened is "in the public interest." Within 15 days of signing the order, the president will receive a detailed plan for the release of documents related to JFK's death. The files on Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King will take longer: the plan for release will be presented to Trump within 45 days.

The Assassinations of Kennedy and Martin Luther King
President Kennedy was killed in Dallas in November 1963. The police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald as a suspect, who died two days after being shot by Jack Ruby. A chain of events that fueled conspiracy theories. Robert F. Kennedy was killed in 1968 in Los Angeles after winning the California presidential primaries. The shooter was Sirhan Sirhan, who in 2023, after 55 years in prison, was denied a request for parole because the man was still considered too dangerous. In 1968, Martin Luther King was also killed by James Earl Ray, who confessed to being the killer and then recanted, seeking acquittal until his death in 1998.
