Oliver Stone is expected at the bar. The director of JFK, A film released in 1991, retracing the investigation around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, will have to appear this Tuesday 1^is April in the House of Representatives of the United States. This invitation follows the decree signed by Donald Trump in January, ordering the disclosure of the rest of the archives on the assassination of 35^e President of the United States, recalls The Guardian.

Oliver Stone was chosen from other witnesses to be questioned about the value of these archives, made public in March, says Anna Paulina Luna, president of the working group on the declassification of federal secrets. He will be auditioned alongside journalist Jefferson Morley, author of numerous articles and books on the death of the former president and alongside James Duignio, a filmmaker who made films on this assassination. “” By investigating the recently published JFK files, by consulting experts and finding the surviving members of various investigation committees, our working group will go to the bottom of this mystery and will share our conclusions with the American people. This hearing is the first step and we are impatient to hear our witnesses ”, said Anna Paulina Luna at a press conference.

There are more than six million documents relating to the archives linked to the assassination of Kennedy, papers preciously guarded by the National Archives and Records Administration.

Today, Lee Harvey Oswald remains the main suspect but many Americans are still convinced that the criminal would not have acted alone. This is especially what Oliver Stone thinks. The director suggests in his film JFKthat the assassination of the former president is a plot, even supposing the involvement of certain American intelligence services.

Oliver Stone greets Trump’s decision

This is why the conservative director did not hesitate to salute Donald Trump’s decision to make these archives public. “” President Trump deserves to be congratulated for the signing of the decree declaring government documents still confidential on the assassination of John Kennedy that occurred 61 years ago. No one expects these files to contain irrefutable proof of the “culprit”. But according to what the previous authors have understood, this information will contribute to a more complete mosaic of the events occurring in these cases ”, he said to Hollywood Reporter in January. For its part, the United States Department of Justice continues to reaffirm for several decades that the main suspect acted alone.
