Oliver Stone is scheduled to appear before Congress on Tuesday to discuss the recent release of thousands of government documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Congressional Hearing on JFK Assassination Files
Stone, an acclaimed filmmaker who won an Oscar for his work, is known for his 1991 film “JFK,” which depicted Kennedy’s assassination as a result of a conspiracy involving government entities. The film garnered critical acclaim, earning eight Academy Award nominations and securing two wins, as reported by the Associated Press.

Additional Participants: Alongside Stone, the House task force has extended invitations to Jefferson Morley and James DiEugenio, both authors who have focused their research on conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy’s assassination. Morley holds the position of editor at the JFK Facts blog and serves as the vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, a key archive of assassination-related documents.
This hearing marks five decades since earlier Senate and House investigations that provided contrasting conclusions regarding the potential existence of a conspiracy behind Kennedy’s assassination.
Historical Context of JFK Assassination Investigations
The last formal review by Congress into President Kennedy’s assassination concluded in 1978. A House committee report indicated that while the Soviet Union, Cuba, organized crime, and U.S. intelligence agencies were not deemed involved, it suggested that “probably” a conspiracy was behind his assassination.
During a similar investigation in 1976, a Senate committee stated that insufficient evidence existed to substantiate a conspiracy. The Warren Commission, formed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, determined that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the fatal shooting of Kennedy on November 22, 1963, as his motorcade traveled through Dallas. Oswald was apprehended shortly after the shooting but was killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby just two days later during a jail transfer, a scene broadcast live on television.
