Tulsi Gabbard Unveils 230,000 MLK Docs Under Trump Executive Order

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Monday released more than 230,000 pages of documents related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., fulfilling a transparency directive issued by President Donald Trump.

The files, many of which had never been digitized, include FBI memos, CIA intelligence, and foreign records tied to the investigation of King's 1968 killing.

Responding to the release, King's children said they hoped those reading the documents would do so "with empathy, restraint, and respect."

"While we support transparency and historical accountability, we object to any attacks on our father's legacy or attempts to weaponize it to spread falsehoods," Martin Luther King III and Dr. Bernice A. King said in a statement. "We strongly condemn any attempts to misuse these documents in ways intended to undermine our father's legacy and the significant achievements of the movement."
