In a interview with journalist Sharyl Attkisson, President Donald Trump provided an update on the release date of Jeffrey Epstein client list, Martin Luther King Jr., and John F. Kennedy classified documents.
Speaking on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, Trump revealed that despite resistance from deep-state operatives, particularly within the FBI, the process of declassification is progressing and will soon result in major disclosures.
Trump acknowledged that while his administration had released a significant number of files during his presidency, certain key figures in his own government pressured him to withhold some of the most sensitive documents.
FBI Resistance and the Fight for Transparency
During the interview, Attkisson pressed Trump on the ongoing intrigue surrounding the release of these classified records. She referenced concerns from current and former FBI agents who believe the agency successfully blocked full disclosure, despite demands from Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi.
Attkisson asked:
A lot of intrigue surrounding the release of the Epstein files, Martin Luther King files, John F. Kennedy files. Some current and former FBI agents are saying that they feel the FBI establishment came out ahead in the standoff with the New York FBI Field Office over releasing the records, and your Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding them but not getting all that she wanted.
Is that process still on track? I think that’s one of the most often asked questions in the last couple of days—to release these records on Epstein, MLK, and JFK.

Trump responded by praising Bondi’s efforts but acknowledged that there had been pushback from within his administration:
Well, Pam Bondi has done a phenomenal job in every respect. There could have been some holdback. I haven’t heard too much about it, but they could. But the bottom line is the records are getting out.
The JFK Files: The Most Wanted Release
Trump revealed that among the classified records, the documents related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination have been the most sought after. He confirmed that his administration had already released many JFK files, but at the time, he was advised by trusted officials to withhold certain documents.
The Kennedy records are getting out. Those are the ones they really wanted to see the most. During my administration, as you know, I released a lot of them, but then a lot of people started coming in—people that I respected, people that worked for the administration—and asked me not to release the rest. I respected that.
They gave me certain reasons, but I respected that. I did say, I must tell you, I said that I probably wish I did release the whole thing because I have no idea what’s in there.
Trump then made a stunning revelation:
Since then, they found, and we found, 2,000 more documents on Kennedy. The one they want most is Kennedy, and it’s going to be released. It’s moving along, and it’s moving along pretty rapidly.
Timeline for Release
Attkisson pressed Trump for a timeline, asking if the public could expect the disclosures within weeks or if it would take longer.
Trump confidently responded:
I would say weeks. Yeah, I say weeks.
Implications of the Declassification
The upcoming release of these files is expected to reignite debates surrounding the deaths of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as Epstein’s ties to powerful individuals.
Many believe that the withheld documents contain explosive details about government cover-ups, intelligence agency involvement, and hidden connections to global elites.
Trump’s comments also suggest that despite opposition from within Washington, he remains committed to exposing long-hidden truths. If the declassification proceeds as promised, it could mark one of the most significant disclosures in modern history.
