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."

Trump vowed to release outstanding files on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

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’s decision to release these files comes in the wake of strong advocacy from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of RFK, who has long pushed for the declassification of documents related to his uncle’s assassination.

Trump did not specify which documents would be released, and he did not promise a blanket declassification. Read more at straitstimes.com.

During his first term in office, Trump made similar promises to release the investigation reports into those high-profile assassinations. He released some documents related to President Kennedy’s death, but for national security reasons he was ultimately convinced by the CIA and FBI to keep most of the documents classified.

During his first term, Trump had considered releasing the JFK files in alignment with the 1992 Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which mandated full disclosure by 2017.
