CIA implicated in JFK assassination, claims released memo

A recently released memo from the Trump administration cites claims made by a CIA agent about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This document includes allegations from Gary Underhill, who asserted that a group within the CIA was "responsible" for Kennedy’s death. Underhill was a former military intelligence officer who claimed he had information about a CIA plot. The memo details that Underhill expressed his fears to friends shortly after Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. He was found dead six months later, with authorities ruling it a suicide. His claims have long been part of conspiracy theories, though they have never been proven. The Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination. Underhill's accusations have been revisited, especially due to the new details about Samuel George Cummings, who ran a weapons company called Interarms. Underhill believed Interarms was linked to Kennedy's murder. The memo reveals that the CIA owned Interarms before Cummings took over in 1958. Underhill described his connections to high-ranking CIA officials and claimed they were involved in illegal activities, including arms dealing and drug trafficking. He suggested Kennedy was killed to prevent him from exposing these operations. Friends who spoke with Underhill after Kennedy's assassination noted he had been shaken but rational, although they initially found his story hard to believe. The release of this memo has sparked renewed interest in conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy's assassination. However, it does not provide clear answers for those who doubt the official narrative that Oswald acted alone. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard praised the move for increased transparency regarding JFK’s assassination files.
