Donald J. Trump has said that once he is sworn in as president on Monday, he will quickly release records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as part of measures to restore confidence in government.

President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday vowed to release records related to former President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassinations "in the coming days."

President-elect said he would release government files about the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Trump, returning to the White House, vowed to release classified documents on the JFK assassination and others. While he previously released some files, many remain classified due to national security concerns.

Trump had made a similar promise during his 2017 to 2021 term, and he did release some documents related to JFK's 1963 murder. However, he later kept a significant chunk of documents under wraps, citing national security concerns following pressure from CIA and FBI.
