This release fulfilled Trump&#8217;s executive order to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-biden-and-pence-classified-documents-released-to-congressional-leaders-report\/\" title=\"Trump, Biden, and Pence classified documents ...d to congressional leaders: Report\">declassify files<\/a> on Martin Luther King Jr.&#8217;s 1968 assassination, a case that the King family has long argued involves a government conspiracy. While Bernice expressed reluctance to revisit the painful details of her father&#8217;s assassination, she called for similar openness regarding Epstein-related documents. meanwhile, King&#8217;s cousin, Dr. Alveda King, welcomed the release, stating that the American peopel are finally receiving the truth.
