There's as much evidence for that as there is that Bill Clinton killed Vince Foster, Bobby Kennedy killed Marilyn Monroe, or that Barrack Obama was born in Kenya.
You're carrying on in the JFK thread against "conspiracy theorists" while being one here. What hypocrisy.
Rumors came from someone in the FBI, transferring blame to the dead Kennedys. Same for the CIA spreading a rumor after both men were dead that Diem's assassination was JFK's fault. Dead men can't defend themselves.
There you go again, jlprk.
I don't think Clinton killed anyone, that Kennedy killed Monroe, or that Obama was born in Kenya. Seems like straw man argument to me.
King was certainly spied on by the FBI.

Speaking in the months after her husband's assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy was so upset with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. that she told a friend and interviewer that she could barely look at images of him.
"I just can't see a picture of Martin Luther King without thinking, you know, that man's terrible," Mrs. Kennedy said, as part of an oral history series of interviews released this month.
The widowed first lady soured on King as a result of secret wiretaps arranged by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.
Hoover had told President Kennedy that King tried to arrange a sex party while in town for the March on Washington, and told Robert Kennedy that King had made derogatory comments during the president's funeral, Mrs. Kennedy recalled.
But as for what was actually said by King and his circle, history remains uncertain.
The original surveillance tapes involving King have never been released publicly, and are under seal by court order until 2027.
CONSPIRACY

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech inspired the world. It also galvanized the FBI into undertaking one of its biggest surveillance operations in history.
Initially approved in October 1963 by then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, the FBI’s wiretap and clandestine microphone campaign against King lasted until his assassination in April 1968. It was initially justified to probe King’s suspected, unproven links to the Communist Party, morphing into a crusade to “neutralize” and discredit the civil rights leader.

In an Oct. 1, 1963, memo to his field offices, Hoover directed “that we at once intensify our coverage of communist influence on the Negro.”
Robert F. Kennedy that month approved the installation of wiretaps on King’s phone and those at the New York and Atlanta offices of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, ostensibly to look into any communist ties.
The bureau in December 1963 decided to expand its microphone and wiretap effort without telling Kennedy in “a secret effort to discredit Dr. King and to ‘neutralize’ him as the leader of the civil rights movement,” said the Church report.
