President Donald Trump confirmed that long-awaited government records on Jeffrey Epstein, Martin Luther King Jr., and John F. Kennedy are set for release, assuring that the process remains on track.
Speaking with investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson on Full Measure, Trump addressed speculation surrounding the delays and credited Attorney General Pam Bondi for pushing forward with the effort, despite resistance from federal agencies.
During the interview, Attkisson pressed Trump on the highly anticipated document releases, highlighting concerns from former and current FBI officials who believe the agency had stalled the process.

“Lot of intrigue surrounding the release of the Epstein files, Martin Luther King files, John F Kennedy files,” Attkisson noted.
“Some current and former FBI agents are saying, some of them telling me that they feel the FBI establishment came out ahead in the standoff, sort of, 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 questions I’ve been asked the last couple of days, to release these records on Epstein, MLK, and JFK.”
Trump confirmed that the release was moving forward, though he acknowledged there had been some delays.
“Well, Pam Bondi has done a phenomenal job in every respect, and there could have been some hold back. I haven’t heard too much about it, but they could. But the bottom line is, the records are getting out. The Kennedy records are getting out. Those are the ones they really wanted to see the most with the Kennedys,” Trump stated.

Trump revealed that while his administration had previously released a significant number of JFK-related documents, some were withheld due to recommendations from individuals he respected at the time.
“During my administration, as you know, I released a lot of them, but then a lot of people started coming in, people that are respected, people that worked for the administration, asked me not to release the rest, and I respected that. They gave me certain reasons, but I respected that,” Trump explained.
However, he expressed some regret over not releasing all the records earlier, suggesting that he may have made a different decision in hindsight.
“I did say, I must tell you, I said that probably wish I did release the whole thing, because I have no idea what’s in there,” he admitted.
Trump also revealed that since those initial releases, an additional 2,000 JFK-related documents had been discovered, further fueling public interest in the files.
“But since then, they found, and we found 2,000 more documents when Kennedy, and the one they want most is Kennedy, and it’s going to be released,” Trump stated.
While Trump did not provide an exact date for the document releases, he assured that they were coming soon.
“It’s moving along. And it’s moving along pretty rapidly. It doesn’t go there, maybe longer. I would say weeks. Yeah, I say weeks,” he concluded.
