President-elect Donald Trump vowed to declassify all documents relating to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
During his speech at Capitol One Arena in Washington D.C. on Sunday evening, the incoming president said he would “reverse the over-classification of government documents” by declassifying long held information by national security agencies.
He noted that not only will documents relating to the Kennedy and MLK Jr. assassinations be declassified, but also “other topics of great public interest.” Robert Kennedy’s son, RFK Jr., is set to join the Trump White House as secretary of Health and Human Services.
“As a first step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will also reverse the over classification of government documents. And in the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And other topics of great public interest. It’s all going to be released, Uncle Sam.”
