Martin Luther King Jr.’s family have spoken out on Donald Trump’s decision to release the secret FBI files on arguably the world’s most infamous assassination.
President Trump has been in The White Office for only a matter of days, but he’s certainly wasted no time getting his feet under the table.
Trump signed off on numerous executive orders, which included halting the ban of TikTok, changing laws on immigration, and declaring that there are ‘only two genders’, a matter of hours upon his return to the Oval Office.
And on Thursday (January 23), Trump signed off an executive order that would see the files connected to the deaths of King, President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy declassified.

Following the news, a statement has been released on behalf of King’s family.
They said: “Today, our family has learned that President Trump has ordered the declassification of the remaining records pertaining to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and our father, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
