President-elect Donald J. Trump pledged to authorize the release of the government files on the assassinations of three liberal 1960s leaders in an early push for transparency about the events that shaped history.
In his Sunday inauguration eve speech at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., Trump told supporters that he would soon release the secretive files on the killings of former President John F. Kennedy, civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., and 1968 Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, the father of HHS nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“As the first step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will also reverse the over-classification of government documents,” Trump told supporters at the packed 20,000-seat venue.
“And in the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” he added, drawing uproarious applause from the raucous crowd.
Trump had previously promised to release all the files during his first White House tenure but ultimately bowed to pressure from security state mouthpieces, including former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and punted the 2017 full release mandated under the 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act into the future.
“When I return to the White House, I will declassify and unseal all JFK assassination related documents,” Trump wrote in a July 2023 Truth Social post. “It’s been 60 years, time for the American people to know the TRUTH!”
President Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, the victim of a shot to the head that was blamed on lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald who was himself soon gunned down by Jack Ruby, preventing him from ever telling his side of the story.
The Warren Commission which formally investigated the assassination was spearheaded by then CIA Director Allen Dulles, a man who was fired by Kennedy and had every reason to want him dead. His inclusion on the panel which many believed was an official cover-up has been one major reason for generations of skepticism, and the suspicion of CIA involvement.
Trump’s inclusion of King is significant with his inauguration falling on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Like both Kennedys, there have also long been questions about government involvement in his assassination, especially since it is well known that the J. Edgar Hoover-led FBI had tried to destroy him.
In vowing to finally release information that the Deep State has guarded like the crown jewels for six decades, Trump is set to do what no other president has dared to and his return to the White House is mud in the eye of the shadowy unelected forces that have ruled behind the scenes, and are suspected by many of being behind the failed assassination attempts on the nation’s 47th president.
The release of the remaining documents will be fiercely opposed by the Deep State and its media mockingbirds but the public demands transparency, and Trump is prepared to deliver it.
