The House Oversight Committee is gearing up for its first major hearing on the JFK assassination files in decades. This move comes after President Trump signed an executive order demanding full transparency. The hearing on March 26 will focus on releasing classified documents about JFK’s death. Lawmakers want answers after years of secrecy.
A Republican-led task force is driving the effort. They plan to interview surviving staff from the original Warren Commission. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says the goal is to “learn the truth” for the American people. The task force includes strong conservative voices like Reps. Lauren Boebert and Tim Burchett. They’re pushing hard against bureaucratic delays.
President Trump’s order requires releasing all remaining files about JFK, RFK, and MLK’s assassinations. “Everything will be revealed,” Trump promised. Earlier releases under Biden and Obama left many questions unanswered. Conservatives argue this shows why Trump’s leadership was needed to cut through red tape.
The task force plans a fact-finding trip to Dallas. They’ll meet with witnesses from the 1963 shooting. No dates are set yet, but it’s a key step to challenge old narratives. The Warren Commission claimed Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, but evidence of a conspiracy has piled up for decades.
JFK’s assassination records were supposed to be fully released by 2017. Past administrations blocked this, citing “national security.” Trump’s team calls these excuses a cover-up. The newly released files include FBI reports and CIA memos that could reshape history books.
Democrats on the task force have been quiet. Some worry they’ll downplay bombshell revelations. Republicans stress that transparency isn’t partisan—it’s about honoring JFK’s legacy. The American people deserve to know if shadowy forces manipulated past investigations.
Critics say reopening the JFK case distracts from current issues. Conservatives fire back: trust in government starts with honesty about the past. If agencies hid the truth about Kennedy, what else are they hiding? This hearing could expose deep-state corruption spanning generations.
The hearing marks a turning point. For too long, D.C. elites treated JFK files like a secret club. Trump’s order and GOP leadership are finally prizing open the vault. Every released document is a win for democracy. Sunlight, as they say, is the best disinfectant.
