Overview

• The House Oversight Committee’s task force released 40 newly declassified CIA files in mid-July 2025 that show Oswald was tracked in the months before Kennedy’s death.
• Internal memos disclose officer George Joannides used the alias Howard Mark Gebler to infiltrate the Miami-based anti-Castro DRE student group.
• Despite that buried record, the CIA told investigators in 1964, 1978, and 1998 that no such agent existed even as it awarded Joannides a Career Intelligence Medal in 1981.
• Documents confirm Joannides oversaw political action and psychological warfare against pro-Castro organizations months before November 1963.
• The disclosures have intensified bipartisan scrutiny of CIA accountability even as they leave the Warren Commission’s lone gunman conclusion intact.
