RecordOBS-0086
CategoryHistory/Assassinations
StatusDEBUNKED
SummarySome conspiracy theories allege that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy, possibly due to his policies or as part of a coup. The House Select Committee on Assassinations investigated these claims and found no evidence of CIA involvement.
OriginThe theory gained traction after the 1960s and was popularized by books and films such as Oliver Stone's 'JFK' (1991).
Claimed
  • The CIA orchestrated or participated in the assassination.
  • The CIA covered up its involvement.
Evidence / consensusThe House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that the CIA was not involved in the assassination. No credible evidence has emerged to support CIA involvement.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
The CIA theory is a staple of JFK conspiracy lore, but the HSCA's investigation found no basis for it. The lack of evidence has not deterred proponents.
