‘Now Do Epstein’: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Daughter Takes Aim At Trump Over Released MLK Files
Bernice King, the youngest daughter of the late Martin Luther King Jr., has pointedly implored President Donald Trump to release the Jeffrey Epstein case files after the Trump administration released a slew of long-sealed documents surrounding her father’s 1968 assassination.
Trump released the documents about the legendary civil rights leader despite the King family’s opposition.
“While we support transparency and historical accountability, we object to any attacks on our father’s legacy or attempts to weaponize it to spread falsehoods,” the King family said in a statement on Monday.
The documents related to King’s assassination were among others that Trump made public through a January executive order.
Bernice King called out Trump about the documents on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
“Now, do the Epstein files,” she wrote alongside a photo of her father.
Bernice King’s post comes as Trump has been hit with scrutiny over his administration’s handling of the Epstein files in recent weeks. Among the critics are the POTUS’ supporters and right-wing figures who have demanded that the administration release more information on the deceased disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.
Meanwhile, Trump boldly claimed on Sunday that the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” as he called it, has upped his approval rating among voters.
“My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain ‘troublemakers,’” he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump, who did not clarify which polls he was citing, continued, “They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records.”
He added: “The General Election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like Strong Borders, and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!”
