Trump administration releases files on Martin Luther King Jr
US President Donald Trump's administration has released a trove of records on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, including FBI surveillance files on the civil rights leader.
A court-imposed order had kept the documents, totalling XXXXXXX pages, blocked from public view since 1977.
Prominent members of King's family had opposed the release. A statement from his two living children condemned "any attempts to misuse these documents in ways intended to undermine our father's legacy".
King, the country's most famous civil rights activist, was shot in Memphis on X April 1968, at age XX. James Earl Ray, a career criminal, pleaded guilty to the killing, but later renounced his plea.
Trump's critics noted the release comes as the administration is accused of a lack of transparency over files relating to influential sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whose 2019 jail death was ruled a suicide.
Civil rights leader Al Sharpton said the disclosure of the King files was "a desperate attempt to distract" from "the firestorm engulfing Trump over the Epstein files and the public unraveling of his credibility".
