Amid Calls For Epstein Files, Trump Admin Releases 230,000 MLK Documents
As U.S. President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans stonewall efforts to keep the full files on deceased financier and convicted child sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein under wraps, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Monday released a long-anticipated massive trove of documents related to the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., despite opposition from his family.
“Today, after nearly 60 years of questions surrounding the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are releasing 230,000 MLK assassination files, available now at http://archives.gov/mlk,” Gabbard said on the social media site 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 Donald 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, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. King,” Gabbard added.
However, many of the MLK documents remain heavily redacted.
Responding to the MLK files’ publication, the King family said in a statement: “As the children of Dr. King and Mrs. Coretta Scott King, his tragic death has been an intensely personal grief—a devastating loss for his wife, children, and the granddaughter he never met—an absence our family has endured for over 57 years. We ask those who engage with the release of these files to do so with empathy, restraint, and respect for our family’s continuing grief.”
Rep. Lateefah Simon Says Only ‘Scholars’ Like Her Should Be Allowed To Quote MLK
Although the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. devoted his life of activism to fostering an America where people aren’t judged on skin color, it seems that a lot of people who like to cite him these days are leftists who see everything in terms of race.
One example of a Democrat gatekeeping King’s message came during a House Oversight Committee hearing this week.
When Republican witnesses used the civil rights icon’s words to make a point, Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-CA) became incensed.
As the Daily Caller reported:
Simon told the witnesses to keep King’s name “out of their mouth[s]” during a hearing on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The witnesses she addressed were Dan Lennington of the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, Judge Glock of the Manhattan Institute and Erec Smith of the Cato Institute.
“There are so few folks who have actually studied and is clear on the theology of King. Very few of you have read and studied and have sat in Ebenezer Baptist Church so I would ask you, you keep Dr. King’s name out of your mouth!” Simon said. “If you, like me and the many scholars who will be watching, who have studied King, you know that he and the mothers and the fathers of the Civil Rights Movement and the movement for emancipation not only would be struck by the conversations in this room, but would be shattered by the consequences of lives, of hatred and abuse of this administration in the name of those who worked to make this country more free!”
Simon accused President Donald Trump’s administration “used Dr. King’s name” to argue in favor of pushing the U.S. back to a “segregated America” based on race, sex, ethnicity, national origin and gender identity.
Tulsi: Assassination Docs on RFK Sr. and MLK Jr. To Be Released Soon
Important documents related to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy Sr. and Martin Luther King Jr. will be released “in the next few days,” according to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
The documents, which have spent “decades” in storage, are currently being scanned for release, Gabbard revealed during a public cabinet meeting with President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Sr.’s son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now Secretary of Health and Human Services.
“We’ve been scanning—I’ve had over a hundred people working around the clock to scan the paper around RFK, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, as well as Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination,” Director Gabbard said.
“These have been sitting in boxes in storage for decades, they have never been scanned or seen before. We’ll have those ready to release here in the next few days.”
In response to the announcement, RFK Jr. said he felt, “very gratified.”
RFK Sr., brother of President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in June 1968, after he had won the Democrat presidential primary. The official story that RFK Sr. was killed by a lone gunman, Sirhan Sirhan, has been the subject of intense dispute, just like the circumstances of President Kennedy’s assassination.
In January, President Trump signed an Executive Order to declassify records related to the assassinations of President Kennedy, RFK Sr. and MLK Jr.
After two attempts on his own life during the 2024 presidential campaign, President Trump also vowed to create a commission into presidential assassinations. He said it would be dedicated to RFK Jr.

AG Pam Bondi Provides Update on Epstein Files, January 6, JFK, and MLK Assassination Documents
Attorney General Pam Bondi has promised again that the American people will finally receive long-awaited answers on the Epstein client list, the January 6th investigation, and the long-classified records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Pam Bondi is encountering growing impatience from MAGA supporters due to the absence of charges against prominent elites.
In an interview with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi made it clear that the government’s history of stonewalling crucial information is coming to an end under the new administration.
During the interview, Bartiromo pointed out that MAGA supporters are furious over the lack of transparency regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s associates.
It can be recalled that the so-called “Epstein Files: Phase One” was a colossal disappointment — heavily redacted pages handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers.
Bondi had hyped the release on Fox News with Jesse Watters the night before, promising “flight logs, names, and a lot of information” about Epstein’s depraved criminal network.
Conservatives braced for a bombshell that would finally unmask the elite swamp creatures tied to the notorious pedophile. Instead, they got a dud.
Speaking with Maria Bartiromo, Bondi confirmed that critical information has been withheld, and she is determined to get to the truth.

Robert Kennedy Jr.: I think it’s a great move because we need more transparency in our government. And, he’s keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything.
Trump signs EO to declassify JFK, RFK and MLK files
On Thursday afternoon, after a wait of nearly 61 years, the files on the assassination of 35th President John F. Kennedy, Jr. were declassified by President Donald Trump. “Everything will be revealed,” Trump told reporters. The files on the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy will also be released, per Barrons.
Kennedy was shot to death in November 1963 while in a motorcade in Dallas, Tex. While on the campaign trail, President Donald Trump had vowed to release the classified documents, and on his first day in office, he told attendees at the Capitol One Arena that they would be released in “the coming days.”
“As the first step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will also reverse the over-classification of government documents,” he told those who had assembled to watch the post-inaugural presidential parade, which had been moved inside due to weather.
“And in the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” Trump said. Trump had considered releasing the files during his first term in office but expressed at the time that he had decided not to. Per the 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, the documents were set were to be released by 2017.
Dr. Martin Luther King’s Prophetic Warning, Denouncing the Merchants of Death
Over the past three years, a collective of volunteer researchers, lawyers, and commentators created The Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal, dedicated to holding accountable four weapon manufacturing corporations based in the U.S. Their tribunal amassed copious evidence to prove that Boeing, Lockheed Martin, RTX (formerly Raytheon) and General Atomics (a company which manufactures weaponized drones) are guilty of committing war crimes. On January 15, 2025, as the world marks the birth of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, a press conference announced the Tribunal’s verdicts and release the report of ten international jurors who have weighed the evidence submitted to them.
Of necessity, the evidence was culled from examining a limited range of devastatingly criminal U.S. “forever wars,” of brutal and needless wars of choice. The Tribunal focused on specific U.S. war crimes and crimes against humanity in the invasions, occupations and aerial assaults which followed the “9/11” attacks in 2001.
What if we could enlarge the Tribunal, bringing before it war crimes occurring right now, the U.S.-assisted massacres we watch in real time on our phone and computer screens?
Certainly, one witness we would beg to appear for testimony would be Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was the director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital when such a place existed. The Tribunal would wish to amplify his testimony on the harrowing weeks of siege during which Israel subjected his hospital to artillery and aerial bombardment. They would help to record his story of witnessing assassinations targeting medical staff, field executions of people clutching white flags in an attempt to surrender, the hospital’s forced evacuation with at-gunpoint humiliation stripping of women and girls. The initial attacks disabled the hospital’s operational capacities by targeting power generators and oxygen production equipment, but now an iconic photo shows Dr. Abu Safiya walking towards an Israeli tank through collapsed buildings and rubble. The Tribunal would like to interview him, but he is being held without charge by Israel’s military.
