Former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to declassify the remaining files related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.
While the move aims to deliver long-awaited transparency, it has reignited public criticism regarding his unfulfilled promise to release Jeffrey Epstein's files.
During his presidency, Trump pledged to reveal names tied to Epstein’s alleged trafficking network but has yet to follow through. This has sparked outrage, with critics questioning why he prioritized decades-old assassination records while leaving the Epstein case shrouded in secrecy.
“Where are the Epstein files?” social media post demanded, reflecting widespread frustration. Many argue that exposing Epstein’s alleged accomplices—some of whom are believed to be high-profile figures—would be far more impactful and timely than revisiting historical conspiracies.

The Epstein case remains a deeply controversial issue. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was found dead in his jail cell in 2019 under suspicious circumstances, further fueling calls for transparency. Advocates for accountability have urged for the release of documents that could implicate powerful individuals who may have been involved in Epstein’s trafficking operation.
While Trump has hailed the declassification of JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. files as a major step toward truth, critics argue that his failure to address the Epstein files undermines his commitment to transparency.
