On January 23, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the declassification of all remaining classified documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The order requires the Director of National Intelligence to present a plan for declassifying JFK-related files within 15 days and RFK and MLK-related files within 45 days.

This initiative aims to address decades of speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding these historical events. Advocates, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have long called for the release of these documents, arguing that transparency is crucial for public trust.

The move is expected to shed light on lingering questions and provide a more comprehensive understanding of these pivotal moments in American history.
