House Panel to Examine Newly Released JFK Assassination Files
The Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets will hear testimony from Oliver Stone and other experts on the implications of the recently declassified documents.
- The U.S. House of Representatives is holding a hearing on March 31, 2025, to analyze newly declassified JFK assassination files.
- The hearing, led by Representative Anna Paulina Luna, aims to assess the value and implications of the 2,200 files recently released by the National Archives.
- Witnesses include filmmaker Oliver Stone, journalist Jefferson Morley, and author James DiEugenio, who will provide differing perspectives on the assassination and related records.
- President Donald Trump’s January 2025 executive order mandated the release of all remaining JFK assassination files, continuing his campaign promise of increased transparency.
- While the files add historical context, they have not revealed significant new information about the assassination, and many Americans remain skeptical of the official conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
