WASHINGTON—More than 243,000 pages of files related to the 1968 killing of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. were declassified and released on July 21 by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

The release follows President Donald Trump’s January executive order mandating the release of documents, long sealed by intelligence agencies, related to the assassinations of King, President John F. Kennedy, and his brother, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
