Donald Trump signs an executive order at the presidential desk to declassify files on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., displaying the signed sheets.

In the one-minute recording, an assistant wearing a dark suit and pink tie presents a folder to Donald Trump, who is seated at the presidential desk. The assistant announces an executive order directing the declassification of files relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Trump opens the blue folder containing two sheets, addresses the press room while holding a marker, signs the document, instructs that it be given to RFK Jr., and lifts the open folder to display the signed pages to the camera.

The audiovisual record is an official production of The White House and is released in the public domain. Preserved under the title Trump signs executive orders declassifying JFK, RFK and MLK Jr. records, the file documents the signing procedure and accompanying statements directly as they occurred.

This declassification action connects directly to the historical framework detailed in the September 1998 Final Report of the Assassination Records Review Board and the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. That legislation mandated the collection and release of all official records concerning the death of President Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Previous investigations referenced in the official report include the 1964 Warren Commission, the 1975 Church and Pike committee inquiries into domestic intelligence activities, and the 1976-1979 House Select Committee on Assassinations, whose records were originally sealed until 2029.

The footage records an executive action directed at the release of historical government records maintained under classification following twentieth-century federal and congressional investigations.
