The executive order states that more than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Federal Government has not released all its records related to these events. The order demands transparency and truth, and it is in the national interest to finally release all relevant records without delay.
The order overrides previous certifications issued by President Biden, which extended the redaction and withholding of information from public disclosure. It also orders the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General to present plans for the full and complete release of records related to these assassinations within 15 days for JFK and 45 days for RFK and MLK. The order ensures that agencies will re-review existing redactions and disclose information that no longer warrants continued withholding.
