🚨🇺🇸 MLK FILES: CIA ADMITTED TO HAVING MLK FILES BUT REFUSED TO HAND THEM OVER

Newly released documents show the CIA confirmed having ten files mentioning Martin Luther King Jr. back in 1977, but they had a catch.

When the Justice Department asked for copies, the CIA basically said "come look at them yourself." 

They refused to release any documents and told officials they'd have to review everything in person at CIA headquarters.

The files included FBI reports, surveillance from Miami in 1966, and materials on Black activist groups and Vietnam protests.
