Newsweek: JFK File: FBI Monitored Martin Luther King's 'Abnormal' Sex Life of Orgies, Hookers and Joan Baez
|Updated The Trump administration released an FBI document containing allegations about the sexual misconduct of Martin Luther King as part of its declassification of information relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The 1968 document alleges financial improprieties by King’s civil rights organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, attempts to tie King to communist organizations and details a series of claims about King’s multiple alleged affairs.
It is not clear if any of the information in the dossier was verified. It makes no mention of JFK, and the FBI has not disclosed why it was held as part of a cache of documents relating to the Kennedy assassination.
Former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's antipathy to King is well documented, and he went to extreme lenths, inlcuding authorising breaking into and bugging King's home and offices, to destroy his reputation. The zeal of the FBI's campaign against King has been outlined in tens of thousands of declassified FBI memos from the 1960s, and Congressional hearings on the FBI's harrassment of King in the 1970s.
The declassified file is not the first time FBI information about King's infidelity has been made public. The wiretaps that recorded information about King's affairs - which the FBI tried to use against King -- first emerged via congressional hearings in the 1970s.

WNU Editor: The FBI document on Martin Luther King is here. Reading this document surprised me .... not because of its contents .... nope .... it surprised me because I read about Martin Luther King's history with women and his Communist ties in (of all places) Russian media in the ewarly 1990s. This happened after the fall of the Soviet Union a number of documents from Soviet intelligence archives became public .... Martin Luther King included. I do not remember the context on why the story was reported .... all that I remember about that news report was that it detailed Mr. King's personal life and that he was a Communist sympathizer. Are these reports true .... hmmmm .... probably not. I have yet to see any concrete evidence, and I doubt any will pop-up now. But what is interesting is that both the FBI and the KGB were very focused on what Martin Luther King was doing.

WNU,
All this about MLK was known in the 60's and ignored by the US public as either false (most likely) and/or irrelevant. This file is starting to look like the dumping ground of a lot of old and somewhat embarrassing material generated by the FBI from that era.
