President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday he would release classified documents in the coming days related to the assassinations of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader 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.

As the 1st step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will also reverse the over-classification of government documents,’ says US president-elect - Anadolu Ajansı

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 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.

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.

Donald Trump will be sworn in today, ushering in another turbulent four-year term with promises to push the limits of executive power, deport millions of immigrants, secure retribution against his political enemies and transform the role of the US on the world stage.

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."
