- Donald Trump has signed a decree for the complete and unredacted release of remaining classified files on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.

- The directive requires a plan for full declassification of JFK-related files within 15 days and RFK and MLK files within 45 days.
- The release aims to address longstanding public demands for transparency and resolve conspiracy theories surrounding the high-profile assassinations.
