Trump declassifies JFK, RFK, and MLK’s murder cases secret documents

In his first week in office, Donald Trump announced the declassification of files related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.

Trump declared that this long-awaited initiative was in the interest of the American people as well as the families of the deceased.

The assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. are surrounded by many rumors and conspiracy theories.

Although Lee Harvey Oswald was officially designated as the culprit, some theories suggest that the CIA, the Mafia, the military-industrial complex, or even foreign governments such as Cuba or the Soviet Union may have been involved in the assassination that took place on November 22, 1963, in Dallas. Others suggest that it could be an internal conspiracy related to political tensions or disagreements regarding the Cold War.

Robert F. Kennedy was officially assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan on June 5, 1968, in Los Angeles, California. Although Sirhan, a Palestinian opposed to Kennedy’s support for Israel, was charged, some theories suggest that he may have been mentally manipulated. Others mention the presence of a second shooter or a conspiracy aimed at preventing Kennedy from pursuing the reforms initiated by his brother.

James Earl Ray was convicted of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., which occurred on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. However, theories point to the American government, particularly the FBI, due to racial tensions and King’s criticisms of the Vietnam War. Some of his close associates, including his family, question the official version and demand that the whole truth be revealed.

These rumors reflect a distrust towards institutions and sociopolitical concerns of the time, which remain relevant even 60 years after these tragic events.

The reactions of the victims’ families to the declassification of documents regarding the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. over the years vary, but they generally express an expectation of truth and justice.

Over the years, some members of the Kennedy family have expressed persistent doubts regarding the official conclusions of the investigations. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his support of various conspiracy theories, has notably publicly stated that broader conspiracies may be involved in the assassination of his father, Robert F. Kennedy, calling for more transparency to shed light on these events.

The family of Martin Luther King Jr., particularly his son Dexter King, has frequently expressed doubts about the official version of events. They have called for a thorough investigation, suggesting that James Earl Ray may not have acted alone, or even that he could be innocent, and have emphasized the need to reveal the whole truth.

The full release of these documents could take up to 60 days, with several thousand files intended to be made available to the public. The declassification of these records, essential in American history, could finally provide some answers that these families have been waiting for.
