Kimmel jokes about JFK files clearing Ted Cruz's father

Jimmy Kimmel made jokes about the recently released JFK assassination files during his show. He humorously expressed sympathy for those expecting shocking new information. Kimmel claimed he read all 64,000 pages and concluded that JFK was indeed murdered. He noted that conspiracy theorists may be disappointed because the files support the idea that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Kimmel joked that this means Senator Ted Cruz's father, Raphael Cruz, is "off the hook" regarding a conspiracy theory tying him to the assassination. Kimmel also pointed out that the documents revealed little new information, mostly just details about government employees. He criticized the way the files were organized, suggesting that the quick release was chaotic. He mentioned that the files released by Donald Trump were similar to those published by Joe Biden in 2023. Kimmel humorously challenged officials to also release the Epstein files, predicting they would take longer to prepare.
