Donald Trump does not plan to publish those who work in the hands of the US authorities, but his administration released more than 240,000 documents related to Martin Luther King (MLK), leader of the fight for civil rights killed in 1968 in Memphis.
The news of the declassification of these documents, which were of restricted access since 1977, when the FBI passed them to the national archives, in Washington, gave it in its account of X Tulsi Gabbard, director of American intelligence. And it was interpreted as an attempt (another) of diverting the attention of the scandal for the Epstein roles, a pederast millionaire who died in a Manhattan cell in 2019, while waiting to be judged for a crime of sexual trafficking of minors.
Among the MLK documents are, according to Gabbard, papers of the murder investigation, transcripts interviews to collect information about the man who killed him, James Earl Ray, or communications, in addition to listings of procedural resolutions or newspaper cuts. They can be consulted.
MLK’s relatives are afraid that there is also committed material about Reverend’s sexual life and his well -known infidelities, and therefore have opposed the publication of the whole two years earlier than expected. In the absence of studying them thoroughly, it is not clear that among that mountain of papers there are revelations of that type. The heirs had been warned about the plans to make public that huge amount of information, but they have not had time to review it before publication on Monday.
In a statement issued shortly after the news was known, the family, with the two children that the Reverend King had, Martin III, 67, and Bernice, 62, remember that “that tragic death was a deep personal pain: a devastating loss for his wife, his children and the granddaughter who never knew; an absence that our family Empathy, moderation and respect for the continuous pain of our family. ”
They are worried that the disseminated damages his father’s reputation, when revealing personal information that can be misunderstood if he does not read “in his complete historical context.” The King remember that the FBI, whose director of the time, J. Edgar Hoover, was obsessed with discrediting the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, whom he considered “radicals”, did his best to gather slanderous data on the Reverend.
Without context
“The purpose of that campaign [del FBI]”, The children write,“ it was not only monitoring, but also discrediting, dismantling and destroying the reputation of Dr. King and the civil rights movement in general. Those actions were not only invasions of privacy, but intentional attacks on truth, undermining the dignity and freedoms of citizens who fought for justice, with the aim of neutralizing those who dared to challenge the the situation in which “.
During the campaign that took him back to the White House, Trump promised the declassification of documents March, although it was not complete. One of the first decrees signed by the president of the United States in January also ordered the publication of the available records about King and Robert Kennedy deaths, which happened separated by a couple of months.
Trump also promised as a candidate that he would spread the Epstein papers. His attorney general, Pam Bondi, and the director of the FBI, Kash Patel, repeated that promise for months, until they broke it by communicating that there would be no such declassification. This announcement has caused a true earthquake in the Maga world (Make America Great Again), some of whose most famous conspiracy, believe that there is a list in which the Pederasta Millionaire pointed out the names of rich and famous people who participated in their minors’s sexual traffic network.
They also suspect that their death was not a suicide, as the coroner concluded and confirmed the Department of Justice and the FBI a couple of weeks ago, if not a murder for
To suffocate that rebellion, Trump has ordered the publication of the Grand Jury’s testimonies in the Epstein trial that was never celebrated, as well as in his achievement, Ghislaine Maxwell, the partner who helped him to look for the minors of which he abused and who turns 20 years in prison in a Florida prison. It is not clear if the judge will finally decree the release of those confidential documents, or how long it will take to do so. Even less if its content will serve to clear all doubts about the case.
