Former US President Donald Trump is reportedly on the verge of releasing long-classified documents concerning the assassination of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. The move, which has been anticipated for years, could shed new light on one of America's most controversial historical events.
Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic congresswoman turned independent, has publicly endorsed the decision, calling for full transparency. "The American people deserve to know the truth," Gabbard stated, aligning herself with growing demands for declassification.
Why Now?
The potential release comes amid heightened scrutiny over government secrecy and historical accountability. Advocates argue that revealing these files could provide closure and answer lingering questions about the 1968 assassination.
What to Expect
While the exact contents remain undisclosed, experts speculate the documents may include:
- Previously unseen FBI investigative materials
- Surveillance records related to King's activities
- Potential connections to broader civil rights-era operations
Critics warn that the release could reignite conspiracy theories, while supporters believe it's a necessary step toward historical honesty.
