As noted by the press service, documents related to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy – senior and Martin Luther King Jr. will also be declassified. Trump stated that "many people have been waiting for this for decades."
Intelligence leaders have 45 days to develop a plan for the release of the archives.
Following the partial declassification of documents related to Kennedy's assassination, in 2022 the National Archives and Records Administration announced that 97% of approximately 5 million pages concerning the case are already publicly accessible, as mentioned on their website.
Trump promised back in his first administration in 2017 that he would release the remaining documents regarding Kennedy's assassination. Among them were about 3,000 documents that had never been published, along with another 30,000 that were released with redactions. However, not all of these files were declassified during his first presidential term.
The U.S. President's office adds that in 1992, Congress mandated the release of all documents related to the assassination within 25 years.
