Following his election win over opponent Kamala Harris, Donald Trump returned to the White House for the second time and didn’t waste any time fulfilling the promises he made during the presidential campaign.
Mere hours following his inauguration, Trump signed a number of executive orders and promised to declassify files related to major global events that have been the subject of conspiracy theories over the years.

So, what can the public expect to be declassified under Trump’s presidency?
Files related to COVID-19, the virus that spread worldwide and claimed the lives of many, is one of the events the president wants to look into, more precisely, documents detailing the virus’s origin, which was believed to be released from a laboratory in China.
Further, Trump would allow classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F Kennedy to be released. With this, he would also declassify documents of the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.
Speaking of the files regarding these cases of assassination, Trump said, “Lot of people are waiting for this for a long, long time, for years, for decades, and everything will be revealed.”
“I think I’ve opened 50% but I was asked not to do it, and I thought that was a reasonable ask. But now I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it very soon. There’s a lot of interest in it.”
Another case that has been of great interest to the public, and the president himself obviously, is the case of Jeffrey Epstein, who was jailed for s*x trafficking and s*x charges.

Epstein’s death in prison while awaiting trial on new child trafficking charges led to numerous conspiracy theories about the clients who were using his services.
Under Trump’s presidency, Epstein’s “client list” is expected to be made public once the files are declassified by the federal government.
While Trump was a known associate of Epstein in the past, there are no suggestion of any wrongdoing by the president in the case of the s*x offender.
Whether this “client list” differs from Epstein’s so-called “black book” which includes high-profile figures is yet to be seen.
