Sooo, all the hundreds of pages of FBI transcripts and audio surveillance summaries were all fabricated?
The revelations on the tapes, in FBI summaries, were found by historian David Garrow who won a Pulitzer prize in 1987 for Bearing the Cross [William Morrow, 1986] his life of Rev. King. His biography also won the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award which is ironic for it was Attorney General Robert Kennedy who proposed and approved the wiretap on King. Garrow gave details of his finding in the British monthly magazine Standpoint in June 2019. He revealed the FBI planted miniature transmitters in two lamps in rooms booked by King in January 1964, at the Willard Hotel which is near the White House. FBI agents in nearby rooms listened in electronically with radio receivers, the conversations silently transferred to tape recorders.
King was accompanied by a friend, Logan Kearse, the pastor of Baltimore’s Cornerstone Baptist church, who had arrived in Washington with what an FBI summary describes ‘as several women parishioners of his church’. Kearse invited King to meet the women in his room, where they ‘discussed which women among the parishioners would be suitable for natural and unnatural sex acts’. . . .
David Garrow said in UK interviews in June 2019, that he had spent several months digging through a King-related document dump on the National Archives website and found among them electronic copies of documents that were 500 pages long.
In Bearing the Cross, Garrow discussed what he then knew of King’s extramarital adventuring but admitted he had no idea of the scale or the extent of King’s philandering until he saw the FBI files. ‘I always thought there were ten to twelve other women, not forty to forty-five.’ He said he believed that in the #MeToo era, evidence of King’s indifference to rape ‘poses so fundamental a challenge to his historical stature as to require the most complete and extensive historical review possible’.

Umm, are you aware that King's close friend and fellow NAACP leader Rev. Ralph Abernathy admitted in his 1989 book And the Walls Came Tumbling Down that King was a serial adulterer, and that on the night before his death, King got into a physical fight with a prostitute and knocked her across the room?
