Trump simultaneously ordered the release of all documents relating to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy - JFK's brother - and Martin Luther King. Conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination have swirled for 60 years as the public guessed at what might be contained in the top secret files.

The prospect of new information will excite the amateur sleuths who continue to wonder whether there is more to the story than a lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald. Trump signed an executive order that instructs his Director of National Intelligence to put together a plan within 15 days for the full release of documents about the JFK assassination.

The order reads: "More than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Federal Government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events," as reported by the Mail Online.
It continues: "Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. "It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay.". Trump's intelligence chiefs will have 45 days to put together a plan to release the RFK and King archives.
