Jefferson Morley says the familiar lone-gunman account leaves out how closely the CIA tracked Lee Harvey Oswald before President John F. Kennedy was killed. In this Facts Verse interview, the investigative journalist discusses newly released JFK records, reports he says reached James Angleton before the assassination, and why he believes investigators never received the full picture of CIA activity around Oswald.
Morley also examines a newly disclosed 1963 travel credential for CIA officer Bill Harvey, the roles of Richard Helms and George Joannides, and Pentagon records he says were destroyed. He explicitly says he has not proved a CIA plot; he explains what remains unresolved and where researchers may look next.
