Event Summary

Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone is set to testify to the United States regarding thousands of newly released government documents surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The hearing is being held by the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, chaired by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. While scholars maintain that the files, ordered released by former President Donald Trump, do not undercut the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, Oliver Stone and other invited authors like Jefferson Morley and James DiEugenio argue for conspiracy theories. The event revisits the 1963 assassination and subsequent investigations, including the United States — Warren Commission's finding of a lone gunman and later congressional reports suggesting a probable conspiracy.
