President Trump has again stated that he believes that Lee Harvey Oswald “was helped” with the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.
Trump’s statement comes on the heels of 80,000 previously classified documents related to the assassination being released by the U.S. National Archives.
Trump discussed the matter during an interview with OutKick founder and conservative radio host Clay Travis on Air Force One.

“Do you think Oswald killed JFK personally?” Travis asked.
“I do, and I always felt that,” Trump replied. “Of course, he was … helped.”
Trump said the document dump “turned out to be somewhat unspectacular” but concluded, “Maybe that’s a good thing.”
The president did not elaborate on who helped Oswald.
There have long been theories about who else was involved, ranging from Israel, the U.S. government, the Mafia, the CIA, the Cuban government, and the KBG.
The official narrative established by the 1964 Warren Commission is that Oswald was a lone wolf — but there have long been theories that the government was hiding a more sinister truth. Polls as recent as 2023 show that over 60% of Americans believe there was a conspiracy behind Kennedy’s death.
