US President Donald Trump has published more than 240 thousand pages dealing with surveillance of the intelligence agency's Nobel laureate shortly before his assassination in 1968, reports the report. BBCPeriscope broadcast.
The documents were being guarded by a court ruling since 1977, when the FBI collected all the details and handed them over to the National Archives Administration.
The documents have been published as Trump is making efforts to calm his supporters in terms of managing the known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's data.
In recent weeks Trump's friendship with Epstein has been under great criticism.
Meanwhile, King's family, including his two children, Martin III and Bernice, checked all the documents before the publication.
Trump as a candidate for president had promised to publish documents concerning the murder of John F Kennedy in 1963. He has declassified all documents in January 2025, including those involving the murder of Robert F Kennedy and King.
Historians and journalists have already become ready to study and analyse new information about the assassination of the renowned human rights activist.
King's family has argued that the FBI illegally monitored King and other activists, placing wiretapping on phones.
J Edgar Hoover, then director of the FBI, was interested in King and others he considered radical.
Even earlier it was confirmed that Hoover had allowed King's phone surveillance and hotel rooms where he was staying.
James Earl Ray was found guilty of King murder. He later withdrew the statement and expressed himself innocent until his death in 1998. /
