Roger Stone alleges LBJ's involvement in JFK assassination cover-up during hearing

In a recent meeting of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, discussions surrounding the declassification of federal secrets, particularly the JFK files, took center stage. This meeting highlighted ongoing public interest in the circumstances surrounding President John F. Kennedy's assassination and the implications of newly released documents.

One of the key moments involved a discussion about the involvement of former President Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) in the events surrounding Kennedy's assassination. Roger Stone, a political consultant, has previously accused LBJ of being complicit in the assassination. However, during the meeting, it was clarified that filmmaker Oliver Stone, who has also explored these themes in his work, did not make such accusations against LBJ regarding the assassination itself. Instead, the conversation shifted to the notion of LBJ's potential involvement in a cover-up, particularly through his appointment of Allen Dulles, the former CIA director, to the Warren Commission investigating the assassination.

This discussion underscores the complexities and controversies that continue to surround the JFK assassination, as well as the public's desire for transparency. The committee members expressed a strong interest in understanding the contents of recently released documents, specifically Commission Exhibit 399, which could shed more light on the events of that fateful day in 1963.

The implications of these discussions are significant for the community, as they reflect a broader quest for accountability and clarity regarding historical events that have shaped American society. As the government continues to release more documents, residents may find answers to lingering questions about the past, fostering a deeper understanding of their nation's history.

As the committee moves forward, the focus will remain on ensuring that the American public has access to information that could clarify the events surrounding JFK's assassination and the actions of key figures involved. This commitment to transparency is vital for building trust and addressing the community's ongoing concerns about government accountability.
