WASHINGTON, D.C. — Film director Oliver Stone is scheduled to testify before the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Tuesday regarding newly released documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The hearing, organized by the committee, will focus on approximately 80,000 pages of records made public in late March, following legal and governmental actions aimed at transparency.
Stone, known for his 1991 film JFK, which explored alternative theories surrounding the assassination, will discuss the newly declassified files from agencies including the CIA and FBI.
The documents were released after an order by former President Donald Trump, emphasizing the importance of public access to historical records.
The assassination, which took place on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, remains a subject of ongoing debate.
Kennedy was fatally shot while riding in a motorcade, and the official conclusion by the Warren Commission, established by President Lyndon B. Johnson, determined that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
In the 1970s, the Senate found no evidence of a conspiracy, while the House suggested the possibility of one.
The newly released documents provide additional context but do not alter the official finding regarding Oswald’s sole responsibility.
Stone has long advocated for more transparency in government records related to the assassination.
His film JFK raised questions about potential government cover-ups and involvement, and he has continued to call for further examination of the evidence surrounding the event.
