, a Democratic presidential candidate, accused the CIA of being responsible for the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, on November 22, 1963.
In an interview with John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM's "Cats Roundtable," Kennedy boldly claimed that the CIA's involvement in the murder was "beyond a reasonable doubt." He further stated, "The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder and in the cover-up."
Kennedy cited James Douglas' book, "JFK and the Unspeakable," as the most comprehensive source of evidence. He also referred to the CIA's denial of its role in the assassination as a "60-year cover-up."
The official investigation into the assassination, The Warren Commission Report, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the fatal shooting and that there was no credible evidence of a conspiracy to assassinate the 35th President. The report was released on September 24, 1964.
The CIA's website includes an article that refutes claims of the agency's involvement in JFK's murder, calling them a "lie." However, Kennedy's accusation adds to the many conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination for decades.
