Overview
On January 23, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to declassify documents concerning the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The order mandates that plans for releasing JFK documents be developed within 15 days, while RFK and MLK documents should follow within 45 days. Trump emphasized the public's right to know, noting that withholding information contradicts public interest. Critics, including JFK's grandson Jack Schlossberg, question the motivations behind the move, suggesting it may serve political rather than transparent purposes.
