The US president has previously vowed to declassify information on high-profile historic assassinations

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to declassify government documents related to the assassinations during the 1960s of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King Jr, multiple news media outlets reported on Thursday. 

Trump made a promise to do so at a victory rally at the Capital One Arena in Washington last weekend, speaking ahead of his inauguration on Monday.
