4 takeaways from the JFK files

By CP Staff

2. The 'lone gunman' narrative holds, but questions linger

While the files explicitly state there’s “no evidence in the Collection to indicate that the Warren Commission conclusions” that Oswald acted alone “were wrong,” the documents also suggest that some information remains classified or inaccessible. 

For instance, the CIA’s pre-assassination Oswald file was relatively limited, but later ballooned to 33,000 pages, mostly from other agencies. It’s not clear what caused a significant increase in the file size, but the documents do mention the CIA also began compiling information on Martin Luther King Jr. in addition to the JFK assassination.
