How close are we to the truth on JFK? Oliver Stone and author explain how there is much to uncover

Director Oliver Stone and author Jim DiEugenio recounted their years of research into the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy and why it should be reexamined earlier this week on Fox News.

Stone explained during the congressional hearing that he had encountered previous roadblocks for his 1991 film "JFK" with the CIA, questioning the agency's handling of the files he had requested regarding the assassination.

Stone told Fox News on Wednesday that the "spirit" of the law, being the Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, is that the CIA would only release the files with a national security exception.

"Instead of declassifying everything like he said he [Trump] wanted to do, he ended up delaying it, alright? And he even delayed it into the Biden administration," DiEugenio said, adding that the Biden administration worsened the issue.

"I really hope that between both of these angles, we finally will get every last piece of paper on this case that's haunted America for the last six decades," he said.
