CIA Admits Knowledge of Oswald Before JFK Assassination
The CIA, which is like a secret spy agency, used to say they didn't know Lee Harvey Oswald before President Kennedy was killed.
But now, they're saying they did know him!
Secret documents show a CIA agent named George Joannides was watching Oswald.
Joannides was also working with a group of people against Fidel Castro, and they even argued with Oswald.
It's like the CIA was keeping tabs on Oswald for a while, even before the President's death.
Now, everyone is wondering why the CIA kept this secret for so long and what else they might be hiding.
The CIA has admitted prior knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald before JFK's assassination.
CIA files reveal intelligence officer George Joannides oversaw anti-Castro Cuban students who clashed with Oswald.
Joannides operated under the alias "Howard," which the CIA previously denied.
At least 35 CIA employees handled reports on Oswald between 1959 and 1963.
The CIA is accused of lying for decades about its role and knowledge of Oswald.
