The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories and investigations. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the murder of President Kennedy and Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit, and was later killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone, but three of its seven members eventually disavowed its findings, and President Johnson also expressed doubts. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Kennedy "was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy".
Public opinion polls have consistently shown that most Americans believe there was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy, but there is no agreement on who else may have been involved in the shooting. Some researchers suggest that Oswald served as an active agent of the Central Intelligence Agency, pointing to his attempted defection to Russia and his ability to return without difficulty.
Robert Kennedy Jr. has backed a conspiracy theory that the CIA was involved in the killing of his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy, arguing that there is "overwhelming evidence" of CIA involvement. However, the CIA has repeatedly denied any allegation of involvement in Kennedys death.
In summary, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy remains a topic of widespread speculation and debate, with various conspiracy theories and investigations contributing to the ongoing interest in this tragic event.
