Newly released JFK assassination files reveal more about CIA but don’t yet point to conspiracies

A memo released by President Donald Trump claims Gary Underhill believed a 'small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination' of John F. Kennedy.

The recent release of JFK assassination files may not support existing conspiracy theories, as none disproved that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
Historians hope these documents will reveal more about Oswald's activities and what the CIA knew before the assassination.
