Filmmaker Oliver Stone recently demanded a new investigation into JFK’s assassination. He spoke at a congressional hearing, pushing for answers about the 1963 killing. Stone claims the CIA’s “muddy footprints” are all over the case. He says key evidence, like autopsy reports and Oswald’s CIA ties, were ignored for decades.
Stone’s 1991 movie “JFK” sparked public doubt about the lone-gunman theory. He argues the government’s delays in releasing files hide the truth. Recent document dumps under President Trump didn’t change the official story. But Stone insists they show patterns of secrecy and cover-ups. He wants Congress to start fresh by reexamining the crime scene and evidence.
Republicans on the House task force backed Stone’s calls. They accused past administrations of “stonewalling” the public. Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna called the assassination a “cold case” needing justice. Democrats dismissed the hearing as a distraction. They argued relitigating 60-year-old conspiracies wastes time.
Most historians still say Oswald acted alone. But polls show most Americans believe in a broader plot. Stone pointed to 40 witnesses who saw a bullet exit Kennedy’s head from the front. He called this proof of a shooter besides Oswald. Critics say Stone cherry-picks facts to fit his narrative.
The hearing highlighted deep distrust in government transparency. Stone asked, “Can we trust our government to level with us?” His push reflects conservative concerns about federal overreach and secrecy. While new files revealed minor details, the full truth remains locked away. For many, the fight for answers isn’t over.
