Oliver Stone will be witness at congressional hearing on release of JFK files
Filmmaker Oliver Stone is set to testify at a congressional hearing on Tuesday regarding the recent release of documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. These long-hidden materials were made public following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump, which also called for the disclosure of records concerning the killings of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Stone, known for his 1991 film “JFK,” commended President Trump for taking this step to release the JFK assassination files. In a statement to the Hollywood Reporter back in January, Stone expressed his support for the President’s decision. He stated that while he does not anticipate any definitive evidence pointing to a single perpetrator in these files, the information contained within them will help provide a more comprehensive understanding of the events surrounding these tragic incidents.
It is worth noting that the FBI’s official stance is that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of President Kennedy. However, Oswald himself was killed shortly after the event, leaving many unanswered questions and conspiracy theories in its wake.
In light of the recent document releases, a Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, has been established to investigate these matters further. The goal of this task force is to delve into the newly released files, consult with experts, and interview individuals with relevant knowledge in order to shed light on these historical mysteries and share their findings with the public.
As the congressional hearing approaches, Stone’s testimony is expected to provide valuable insights into the significance of these recently disclosed materials and their implications for our understanding of these pivotal moments in American history. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
