Overview

  • During a congressional hearing, Rep. Lauren Boebert mistakenly confused filmmaker Oliver Stone with political strategist Roger Stone.
  • Boebert questioned Oliver Stone about a book implicating Lyndon B. Johnson in JFK's assassination, which was actually authored by Roger Stone.
  • Journalist Jefferson Morley corrected Boebert during the hearing, prompting her to apologize for the mix-up.
  • Oliver Stone used the hearing to urge Congress to reopen the investigation into JFK's assassination, citing unresolved questions and the need for transparency.
  • Experts maintain that the recently declassified files do not contradict the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
