YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump signed an executive order he said would declassify documents related to the assassinations of US President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. #trump #mlk #rfk #jfk #politics #worldnews
Trump had promised to release the documents during his first term in office, but ultimately relented to requests from the intelligence community to keep much of the classified material under wraps. But the president reiterated his pledge during the most recent presidential campaign.
The order, signed by Trump on Thursday in the Oval Office, says that any possible harm to defense, intelligence, law enforcement, or diplomatic operations is outweighed by the public interest. It directs top national security officials in his administration to present Trump a plan within 15 days on how they would fully and completely release the records.
