President Donald Trump has issued an executive order mandating the release of government records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and former Senator Robert F. Kennedy. The order sets deadlines for the release of these records, which have been subject to redaction and withholding for decades. Trump asserted that the continued secrecy surrounding these events is not in the public interest and that the release of information is long overdue.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday mandating the release of records related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
The attorney general and national intelligence director, in coordination with the council to the president and assistant for national security affairs, must present a plan for the records pertaining to former President Kennedy’s assassination to be released by Feb. 7. A plan for the release of records regarding the killings of King Jr. and former Sen. Kennedy must be presented by March 9. The president said any continued withholding and redaction of the documents for former President Kennedy is “not consistent with the public interest,” adding that the release is long overdue. “And although no Act of Congress directs the release of information pertaining to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have determined that the release of all records in the Federal Government's possession pertaining to each of those assassinations is also in the public interest,” the executive order reads. In 2018, President Trump ordered agencies to review remaining redactions in the Kennedy assassination records and disclose information no longer warranting withholding, according to the executive order. Former President Joe Biden gave agencies extensions to review the remaining documents in 2021, 2022 and 2023, the executive order reads. The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 required documents on the assassination to be fully disclosed unless the president confirmed that continued postponement is necessary due to an “identifiable harm” to the “military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations.” That harm has to be “of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure,” according to the act
