Overview

• Oliver Stone testified before Congress on April 1, 2025, urging lawmakers to reopen the investigation into President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
• The hearing focused on newly declassified JFK assassination files, which experts say do not contradict the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
• Rep. Lauren Boebert mistakenly attributed a book written by Roger Stone to Oliver Stone during her questioning, prompting a correction by journalist Jefferson Morley.
• Boebert apologized for the error, but the incident drew widespread media attention, overshadowing substantive discussions from the hearing.
• The release of over 2,000 newly declassified JFK files has reignited public interest, though no new evidence challenges the official findings.
