President Donald Trump signed an executive order to declassify government records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The order directs a complete review and release of the records, citing the public's right to transparency. Trump, who previously authorized delays in disclosure during his first term, stated that withholding information was no longer in the public interest. The move has garnered mixed reactions, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praising the decision, while JFK’s grandson criticized it as a political gesture.
