Oliver Stone Urges Congress to Reinvestigate JFK Assassination at Landmark Hearing

The House Task Force on Declassification held its first hearing, with newly released files reigniting debates over CIA involvement and government transparency.

Oliver Stone and Jefferson Morley testified before Congress, alleging CIA involvement in JFK's assassination and calling for a new investigation.
The hearing followed the release of 80,000 pages of declassified documents, which revealed Cold War intelligence activities but did not refute the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
Stone criticized the Warren Commission's 'magic bullet theory' and called for a reassessment of evidence, including the rifle, bullets, and autopsy.
The hearing highlighted partisan divides, with Republicans linking the case to modern 'Deep State' conspiracies and Democrats criticizing the release for exposing sensitive personal data.
Experts and lawmakers noted that the CIA may still be withholding hundreds of documents, fueling ongoing public distrust and calls for greater transparency.
