Donald J. Trump has said that once he is sworn in as president on Monday, he will quickly release records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as part of measures to restore confidence in government.

President-elect said he would release government files about the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

During his first term in office, Trump made similar promises to release the investigation reports into those high-profile assassinations. He released some documents related to President Kennedy’s death, but for national security reasons he was ultimately convinced by the CIA and FBI to keep most of the documents classified.

Trump’s decision to release these files comes in the wake of strong advocacy from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of RFK, who has long pushed for the declassification of documents related to his uncle’s assassination.

Trump had made a similar promise during his 2017 to 2021 term, and he did release some documents related to JFK's 1963 murder. However, he later kept a significant chunk of documents under wraps, citing national security concerns following pressure from CIA and FBI.
