Oliver Stone Testifies at Congress on JFK Files Release
Acclaimed filmmaker Oliver Stone testified before a congressional committee, urging the full release of the remaining classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Stone, known for his 1991 film 'JFK,' appeared before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, emphasizing the public's right to know the full truth about the event that shook the nation.
During the hearing, Stone criticized the government's slow pace in declassifying the JFK files, which were supposed to be fully released by 2017. He argued that transparency is crucial for understanding historical events and ensuring government accountability. The director's testimony came amid renewed interest in the JFK assassination, spurred by recent partial releases of documents.
Representative Lauren Boebert, who attended the hearing, expressed skepticism about the need for further investigation, highlighting the ongoing debate over the necessity and relevance of releasing these documents decades after the event. Stone's call for a new congressional investigation into the assassination has reignited discussions about what remains hidden in the JFK files and why.
