In an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly delved into a variety of subjects, including his departure from Fox News, the current political climate, and notably, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The discussion on JFK's assassination was sparked when Carlson inquired about O'Reilly's opinion on who was responsible for the President's death. O'Reilly responded, "Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy. But one of the guys who was friends with Lee Harvey Oswald was George de Mohrenschildt. A CIA operative, not an agent de Mohrenschildt was a Russian living in America."
O'Reilly continued to elaborate on the connection between Oswald and de Mohrenschildt, stating, "Lee Harvey Oswald was a crude uneducated man, de Mohrenschildt was an aristocrat. Why was he hanging with Lee Harvey Oswald?" He further revealed that "de Mohrenschildt then committed suicide. When the Church Committee investigators approach his home in Palm Beach Florida. Blows his brains out."
George Sergius de Mohrenschildt, an American petroleum geologist, anti-communist political refugee, professor, and occasional CIA field agent, is best known for befriending Lee Harvey Oswald in the summer of 1962 after moving to the Dallas area in October 1961. His testimony before the Warren Commission, which investigated JFK's assassination, was one of the longest of any witness.
Since his testimony and subsequent suicide, de Mohrenschildt has become a central figure in conspiracy theories surrounding JFK's assassination. Some theorists who believe that the U.S. Government was responsible have accused de Mohrenschildt of being Oswalds CIA handler. Conversely, Ion Mihai Pacepa, a high-level defector from Communist Romania, has alleged that de Mohrenschildt, despite his claims of being a descendant of the Russian nobility and an anti-communist political refugee from the Red Terror, was in reality a KGB First Chief Directorate illegal field agent, who focused on collecting military intelligence and acted as Oswalds Soviet intelligence handler.
It is widely known that Oswald was under the CIA's surveillance. At one point, the CIA was even intercepting Oswalds mail from his mother. This revelation adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing debate about the circumstances surrounding JFK's assassination.
