On March 18, 2025, the U.S. National Archives released a tranche of newly declassified John F. Kennedy assassination files, adding fresh intrigue to one of history’s most debated events. While the official narrative maintains that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating President Kennedy on November 22, 1963, these documents—part of an 80,000-file collection—contain tantalizing hints that challenge this conclusion, particularly regarding potential CIA involvement.
Among the most striking revelations are references to intelligence operations and shadowy figures tied to the agency during the late 1950s and early 1960s. A memorandum dated December 1, 1953, from the CIA, detailed in file 104-10225-10000, describes the activities of Grigoire Gafencu, a figure linked to the National Committee for a Free Europe (NCFE) and allegedly close to Allen Dulles, then-CIA director. Gafencu’s reported behavior—living lavishly, engaging in dubious oil schemes, and claiming a personal connection to Dulles—raises questions about the extent of CIA oversight or complicity in operations that might have intersected with Kennedy’s political adversaries. The document notes Gafencu’s “indiscreet” actions and suggests his activities could be “detrimental” to U.S. interests, hinting at a broader network of covert operations that could have had motives to destabilize Kennedy’s administration.
Another file, 104-10172-10111, dated October and December 1959, includes correspondence and intelligence reports involving James Angleton, a key CIA counterintelligence chief known for his controversial role in Cold War espionage. The document references connections to individuals like Benjamin Factor and Burico Lynný Hnetary in Moscow, as well as coded projects (e.g., LIBIGHT/LIMUD) and secret distributions to CIA branches. While the file focuses on unrelated intelligence gathering, Angleton’s presence—given his later scrutiny in JFK conspiracy theories—fuels speculation about whether the CIA’s extensive operations during this period could have indirectly or directly influenced events leading to Kennedy’s death.
Surprisingly, none of the released files directly implicate the CIA in orchestrating Kennedy’s assassination. However, the documents reveal a web of covert activities, funding, and international intrigue that could suggest a motive or opportunity for agency involvement. For instance, the mention of Allen Dulles in Gafencu’s activities is particularly noteworthy, as Dulles was fired by Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs fiasco in 1961, creating a potential personal and institutional grudge. Conspiracy theorists have long pointed to Dulles’s role on the Warren Commission, which concluded Oswald acted alone, as a possible conflict of interest.
The files also highlight the CIA’s deep entanglement with anti-communist networks, such as the Congress for Cultural Freedom, detailed in 104-10174-10071. This organization, ostensibly focused on promoting cultural freedom, engaged in radio broadcasts, publications, and defections from totalitarian regimes—activities that could have aligned with destabilizing Kennedy’s policies, particularly his attempts at détente with the Soviet Union. While the connection to the assassination remains speculative, the scale and secrecy of these operations underscore the agency’s capacity for covert action during this era.
Critically, these documents do not provide definitive proof of CIA involvement but instead offer a glimpse into the agency’s sprawling influence and the complex geopolitical tensions of the time. The establishment narrative, upheld by the Warren Commission and subsequent investigations, insists Oswald was a lone gunman, but the newly released files invite scrutiny. They suggest a need to re-evaluate whether the CIA’s operations—driven by Cold War paranoia, internal rivalries, or policy disagreements with Kennedy—might have created conditions or actors capable of such an act.
The release of these files, coming over six decades after Kennedy’s assassination, underscores the enduring public fascination with the event and the persistent doubts about the official story. While much of the 80,000-file collection remains unreviewed, these initial documents provide a foundation for further investigation. Researchers, historians, and conspiracy enthusiasts alike will undoubtedly pore over the archives, searching for additional clues that might finally resolve—or deepen—the mystery surrounding one of America’s darkest days.
For now, the JFK assassination files of 2025 offer a provocative, if incomplete, window into the CIA’s world, prompting us to question whether the truth about Kennedy’s death lies buried in the shadows of history—or in the pages yet to be revealed.
