Oliver Stone to testify at House hearing on JFK files

American filmmaker Oliver Stone — whose political thriller, “JFK,” made waves more than 30 years ago — will testify on Tuesday before a House committee on the release of new documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy Jr., according to a press release from the committee.

The Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets announced on Sunday it will hold a hearing on Tuesday on the so-called “JFK files.”

The panel, in its hearing notice, listed Stone as a witness, along with independent journalist and author Jefferson Morley and researcher and author James DiEugenio.

“After six decades of deception and secrecy surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy, the Trump Administration is lifting the veil and giving the American people the truth,” Task Force Chair Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said in a press release announcing the hearing.

Luna said the task force will “get to the bottom of the mystery” surrounding former President Kennedy’s assassination.

“By investigating the newly released JFK files, consulting experts, and tracking down surviving staff of various investigative committees, our task force will get to the bottom of this mystery and share our findings with the American people,” Luna said.

“Our hearing is the first step and we look forward to hearing from our witnesses,” she added.

The hearing comes after the National Archives released nearly 2,200 files nearly two weeks ago related to the assassination of former President Kennedy. Multiple analyses have found that many of the documents have already been released to the public in some form but were previously redacted.

The release of the files followed an executive order President Trump signed in January, just a few days after the start of his second term, ordering the release of remaining federal government documents concerning the assassinations of former President Kennedy, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
