On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order requiring the declassification of files related to the assassinations of prominent leaders from the 1960s: JFK, RFK, and MLK. This order directs intelligence officials to devise a plan for public access to these documents. Despite the anticipation surrounding the release, experts suggest that the revelations might not alter the well-established facts surrounding these events. Trump's actions are seen as beneficial in addressing conspiracy theories that have flourished in the absence of complete information.
"A lot of people have been waiting for this for years," Trump said as he signed the executive order. "Everything will be revealed."
The truth in these files, however, will likely be anticlimactic, scholars tell TIME. The basic facts of these assassinations are unlikely to change."
