President Trump said he thinks Lee Harvey Oswald killed former President John F. Kennedy and didn’t act alone.
Trump spoke with Outkick radio host Clay Travis, where he was asked about the release of thousands of files related to the assassination.
“Do you think Oswald killed JFK personally?” Travis asked.
“I do, and I always felt that,” Trump replied. “Of course he was … helped.”
The Department of Justice has long confirmed that Oswald worked alone to kill Kennedy, but conspiracies over the decades have questioned if there was another person or multiple people involved.
Oswald was charged with Kennedy’s assassination but denied responsibility for the shooting. He was killed two days after the 1963 assassination.
While Trump’s theory that Oswald may have had an accomplice wasn’t confirmed in the release of the files, he noted that the substance of the files is “somewhat unspectacular,” which may be “a good thing.”
“I don’t think there’s anything that’s earth-shattering,” Trump said, adding that individuals will be able to make their own “determination” about the killer.
