US President Donald Trump's release of the JFK files has revealed a shock confession that one CIA agent made before his mysterious death, adding a major twist to the long-speculated death of President Kennedy.
JFK's assassination in November 1963 is one of the most important and significant moments in America's history, as it's largely undestood that Lee Harvey Oswald was the shooter who took down the president as he drove through the streets of Dallas, Texas in an open top motorcade.

Oswald was murdered by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby just two days after Kennedy's assassination, and it remains speculated by many that there's more than what we know surrounding the president's death.
Countless conspiracies have spiralled across the internet in the past decades, with many different and sometimes bizarre theories cropping up regarding who was really behind the rifle, but those mad on speculation might just have received a vital crumb through a confession that has only just come to light through the JFK files, as reported by Joe.
Released this month by President Trump, the digital documents detail an investigation into CIA operative Gary Underhill, who died six months after Kennedy's assassination in rather suspicious circumstances.
The now unredacted documents details that "the day after the assassination, Gary Underhill left Washington in a hurry. Late in the evening he showed up at the home of a friend's in New Jersey," indicating that his behavior was 'agitated' and that he 'feared for his life'.

Speaking to his friends, he alleged that "a small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination," a bold claim which he argued was enough for him to leave the country, adding that the 'clique' was "carrying on a racket in gun-running, narcotics, and other contraband."
"Kennedy supposedly got wind that something was going on and was killed before he could 'blow the whistle on it'," the document continues, explaining the reason behind Kennedy's death within Underhill's wild theory.
Within the next six months he was then found dead in his Washington apartment, which the coroner ruled as a suicide. However, it's noted that this explanation is "by no means convincing" due to the position and angle of the gunshot wound, which was behind his left ear despite Underhill reportedly being right-handed.

Underhill's writing collaborator Asher Brynes, who was the one that found his body, believes that the pistol that killed Underhill was "fitted with a silencer," which is an unlikely feature of someone who committed suicide.
Additionally, it's explained that "occupants of the apartment building could not recall hearing a shot," which further adds to that theory, and continues to mystify the circumstances surrounding both Underhill and Kennedy's deaths.
