48% : Trump, a Republican, has championed in the name of transparency the release of documents related to high-profile assassinations and investigations.
25% : The release continued the disclosure of national secrets ordered by President Trump.
23% : In 2023, a different panel denied him release, saying he still lacks insight into what caused him to shoot Kennedy. Robert F.

15% : Trump signed an executive order in January calling for the release of government documents related to the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and King, who were killed within two months of each other.
