Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s family has responded to Donald Trump’s decalssification of files surrounding their father’s 1968 murder.
In a statement just posted, the Kings say they hope to see the files before they are made public.
Whether Trump will show the files to the Kings, and the Kennedy families, remains unclear. He’s only releasing the files to get publicity for himself. He’s not known for graciousness.
At the ceremony in which he signed the Executive Order to release all the files, Trump made an odd comment about Dr. King. “Oh, that’s a big one.” You can only imagine how much he wants to embarrass the family and sully Dr. King’s name and reputation.
Despicable
