The Trump administration has declassified nearly 200,000 pages of FBI records related to Martin Luther King Jr.'s surveillance. Despite the King's family's concerns, the release fulfills a campaign promise by Trump and adds to previously declassified records on JFK and RFK's assassinations.

In a controversial move, the Trump administration has made public nearly 200,000 pages of FBI records concerning the surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr., despite objections from his family and civil rights advocates.
