In early 2025, the FBI announced that they had found more than 2,000 new records related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination. What do they include? Why did it take so long to find them? How many will be made public? The world waits to find out. In late 2023, we sat down with journalist, author, and co-founder of the substack JFK Facts Jefferson Morley. We discussed revelations regarding the CIA’s knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald before November 22nd, the lasting legacy of JFK’s approach to foreign policy, and how clandestine intelligence agencies continue to withhold information about the 35th president’s death. Check out JFK Facts at jfkfacts.substack.com and Jeff’s books The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton, Our Man in Mexico: Winston Scott and the Hidden History of the CIA, and Scorpions’ Dance: The President, the Spymaster, and Watergate.

Was it the CIA? The FBI? The U.S. military industrial complex? The Cuban government? The KGB? The American mafia? The Ku Klux Klan? A French crime syndicate pushing heroin? Was it some combination of the above? Or was it really, as they say, a lone gunman? We could be closer to answers than ever before.
The FBI has found more than 2,000 brand new records related to John F. Kennedy's assassination. What do they include? Why did it take so long to find them? And how many will be made public? We're just as curious as you are. Maybe by the time you're listening to this, we'll know.
But given all the excitement, we wanted to resurface a conversation our team had about what may have happened that day in Dallas, Texas, November 1963. And just as curiously, what has happened since. Enjoy. Enjoy. Welcome to Conspiracy Theories, a Spotify podcast. I'm Carter Roy. You can find us here every Wednesday. Be sure to check us out on Instagram at The Conspiracy Pod.
And we would love to hear from you. If you're listening on the Spotify app, swipe up and give us your thoughts. Something you might not know about me is I once played a man obsessed with JFK's assassination in a film called The Umbrella Man. Much like my character, our colleague Julian Boirot has long been obsessed with JFK conspiracy theories. He uses the term loosely, though.
Because, as he says, there are plenty of verifiable facts to show that we haven't been told the entire truth about what happened. He sat down with Jefferson Morley, journalist, author, and the co-founder of the sub-stack JFK Facts, for a fascinating discussion. Their conversation after this.
True tales of horror, bizarre happenings, unexplainable events. On our podcast, Disturbed, terror takes center stage. Kidnappings, serial killers, hauntings, and the very essence of your worst nightmares coming to life on this weekly true horror show. Enter at your own risk.
I would like for our audience who may not know your work, if you could introduce yourself briefly.
My name is Jefferson Morley. I'm a journalist, investigative reporter. I'm the co-founder and editor of the JFK Facts blog, which was created in 2012 and is now found on Substack. I'm the author of four books of nonfiction, three of them about the CIA, and I live in Washington, D.C.
So you started the blog in 2012. I was wondering what interested you so much about the JFK assassination in particular, and why have you committed so much time to this event?
