The release of historical government files related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and the surveillance of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. continues to face delays. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton expressed frustration over the slow pace at which the National Archives is making JFK assassination records available, warning it could take decades before the files are partially released without court intervention or a change in administration policy. Meanwhile, a federal judge has indicated that negotiations over the release of FBI surveillance records on Martin Luther King Jr. could take years. The judge described the process as a “long journey” and emphasized the need to consult with King’s family and supporters, who have raised concerns about the potential impact of releasing biased or fabricated information. Recently, there have been indications that the release of MLK assassination files might be expedited following an order from former President Donald Trump, though the process remains cautious and consultative.
