Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Monday released hundreds of thousands of files related to the 1960s assassination of Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The files come after President Donald Trump ordered agencies to declassify documents involving the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, former Attorney General Robert Kennedy and King.
“Today, after nearly 60 years of questions surrounding the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are releasing 230,000 MLK assassination files” Gabbard said in a post on X. “The documents include details about the FBI’s investigation into the assassination of MLK, discussion of potential leads, internal FBI memos detailing the progress of the case, information about James Earl Ray’s former cellmate who stated he discussed with Ray an alleged assassination plot, and more.
“Thanks to President [Trump’s] leadership, Executive Order 14176 resulted in three, unprecedented interagency efforts to identify, digitize, declassify and release files related to the federal government’s investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. King,” she added.
The move was made in conjunction with the Justice Department, FBI, CIA and National Archives and Records Administration.
