Thousands of once-classified government files on the assassination of former President JFK This week’s release of Kennedy files reignited debates about one of the most infamous events in American history. The documents, posted by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, contain over 63,000 pages of records previously withheld from the public.
UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan, fascinated by conspiracy theories and government secrets, eagerly explored the revelations.
Shortly after the files went live, Rogan took to social media with a simple yet loaded question: “So, who killed JFK?”
New Files, Same Questions On JFK
The newly released documents shed light on various aspects of the Kennedy assassination, including intelligence reports on Lee Harvey Oswald and his potential ties to the Soviet Union. One particularly notable detail comes from a KGB official’s review of “five thick volumes” of files on Oswald. According to the official, the KGB was “confident that Oswald was at no time an agent controlled by the KGB.”
While the files provide additional context, they stop short of delivering a definitive answer—something that has kept the assassination a subject of intense speculation for decades. Theories of CIA involvement, Mafia ties, and second gunmen continue to swirl despite the official Warren Commission conclusion that Oswald acted alone.

Former President Donald Trump, who originally ordered the release of over 2,000 JFK-related files, had little to say about the latest document dump. In a brief statement, he told followers, “You got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything.”
Joe Rogan’s four-word response captures the sentiment of many Americans still searching for clarity. With fresh material now available for public scrutiny, the debate over Kennedy’s assassination is far from over. Time will tell whether these files provide new answers or spark further speculation.
