President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to declassify long-held government records concerning the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Trump declared the decision a step toward transparency, saying, “A lot of people have been waiting for this for decades, and everything will be revealed.”

The move could finally shed light on unresolved questions surrounding these pivotal moments in American history, which have been the subject of speculation for over half a century. In a related note, Trump has also nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the late senator, to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, further connecting his administration to the Kennedy legacy.
