Summary
In 2025, the Trump Administration released long-classified government files about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. At the center of the most obsessed-over murder in American history stands the gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, a man whose life was marked by political radicalization and personal failure. His actions on November 22, 1963 continue to haunt the nation, fueling a range of theories about his involvement. Did the CIA overlook the warning signs? Was Oswald a lone gunman or an unwitting pawn in a larger conspiracy? As fresh evidence comes to light, the truth about his motives and the forces that may have prevented this tragedy are once again up for debate.
