Trump administration releases files on slain civil rights leader

The administration of US President Donald Trump has released a set of records on the assassination of Martin Luther King Junior, including FBI’s monitoring files on civil rights leader.

The matter imposed by the court on the documents of the FBI, which reached a total of 230,000 pages, has kept blocked from the general outlook since 1977.

Several members of the King’s family opposed the release. A statement from his neighborhood children condemned “any attempts to misuse these documents in ways aimed at undermining the legacy of our father.”

King, a minister of Maamani, was shot in Memphis on April 4, 1968, at the age of 39. James Earl Ray, a professional criminal, admitted that he was guilty of killing, but later abandoned his call.

“We ask those who deal with the issuance of these files to do this with the sympathy, control and respect of our family’s constant sadness,” said two of King JR’s Living, Martin III and Bernice, who were notified early on the issue, in a statement on Monday.

“The issuance of these files should be found in their full historical context.

“During our father’s life, it was targeting unnecessarily a misleading campaign, invisible, predatory and disciplined campaign, published by Jengar Hoover through the FBI.”

The statement said that the government’s monitoring reached “the invasions of privacy” and “deliberate attacks on the truth” that the king prohibited “the dignity and freedoms of ordinary citizens.”

At the campaign’s path, Trump promised the Americans that he would issue files about the assassinations of the king and former President John F. Kennedy.

He signed an executive order in January, at the request of the documents from both assassination, along with the records of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

“The MLK files were not numbered in today’s edition and sat as a dust gathering in facilities throughout the federal government for decades, and even today,” said the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in a press statement on Monday.

The documents include the “Federal Internal Investigation Office” and “CIA’s records” unprecedented “behind the search for the king’s killer.

The issue was coordinated with the FBI, the Ministry of Justice, the National Archives and the CIA.

“The American people deserve answers after decades of the horrific assassination of one of the leaders of our great nation,” said American Public Prosecutor Pamela Bondi.

Trump’s critics indicated that the issue comes because the administration is accused of lack of transparency on the files related to the crime of influential nationality, Jeffrey Ibstein, who was sentenced to suicide in 2019.

The Civil Rights Leader Al -Sharbaton said that the issuance of the king’s files was a “desperate attempt to distract” from “the fiery storm that overwhelms Trump on Epstein’s files and the general disclosure of his credibility.”
