Washington (AP) – The Trump administration has released records of Monitoring of FBI Martin Luther King Jr., Despite opposition from the family of the slain Nobel Prize winner and the civil rights group, he led his 1968 murder.
The release includes an estimated 200,000 -page records that were under the seal imposed by a court since 1977, when the FBI first collected the record and turned them to the National Archives and Record Administration.
King’s family, including his two living children, Martin III and Bernis, were given advance information about the release and their own teams were to review the records before public disclosure.
In a long statement issued on Monday, two living king children called their father’s case “public curiosity to woo public curiosity for decades”. But the pair emphasized the personal nature of the case and urged that “these files should be seen in their full historical context.”
President Donald Trump, President John F. Promised as a candidate to issue files related to Kennedy’s 1963 murder. When Trump took over in January, he signed executive Order Robert f. Kennedy and Kings to reduce JFK records with people associated with 1968 murders.
Government JFK Records ignored In March and Some rfk files revealed In April.
