Trump 2.0 Promises to Unveil JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassination Secrets: Will We Finally See the Truth?

After CIA Persuasion Blocked Full Disclosure Last Term, Trump Vows to Release All Files, Igniting Speculation and Hope for Transparency.

Here we go again with the potential release of the JFK assassination files. President Trump did get it done last time around, yet he has a renewed vigor to declassify and release the files on not just John F. Kennedy (JFK), but also his brother, Robert F. Kennedy (RFK), and Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK). While former President Joe Biden had promised transparency during his regime, we got he opposite. Now comes Trump 2.0 looking to push a broader transparency of government records, and this proposed release is part of that effort.

Specifically, Trump made this pledge during a victory rally in Washington, D.C., ahead of his inauguration for a second, non-consecutive term. He emphasized the release of these documents as a "first step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government."

John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Despite official investigations concluding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, conspiracy theories have persisted.

Robert F. Kennedy was killed on June 6, 1968, in Los Angeles, California. Official accounts attribute the assassination to Sirhan Sirhan, but doubts and theories about additional gunmen or motives remain.

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. The official narrative points to James Earl Ray as the lone assassin, yet questions about possible government surveillance and involvement have fueled speculation.

Now, when Trump was in office his first time around, he authorized the release of some JFK assassination files, but was convinced by then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo to hold back on the entire file due to “security risks.” Trump is not having of it this time, and is expected to lay it all out there the public’s consumption.

If this happens, it will either put at rest all the conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of JFK or it will confirm one or more. Similarly, RFK and MLK had their own conspiracy theories. We’ll have to wait and see if the “deep state” let’s the public see what they want to see and if Trump has the fortitude to see this transparency through or if he’ll recoil like last time.

RFK’s son Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is Trump’s pick for HHS Secretary (yet to be confirmed) and would like his father’s assassination files released, as does the American public and historians around the world.
