Now, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)-Department of State historian has come forward with explosive claims that the agency deliberately misled congressional investigators—and even bragged about it in an internal report.

Thomas Pearcy, now a history professor at Slippery Rock University, told Axios that while working in a secure CIA facility in 2009, he stumbled upon a classified inspector general’s report detailing how intelligence officials misled the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) during its late-1970s probe into Kennedy’s murder.

The document allegedly contained a 1978 memo in which a CIA officer boasted about presenting sanitized files to HSCA chief counsel Robert Blakey, obscuring key details about Oswald’s activities in Mexico City weeks before the assassination.

A deliberate cover-up?

Pearcy described the report as a “blueprint of a cover-up, how to lie to Congress and the American people.” According to his account, CIA officers provided Blakey with heavily redacted versions of investigative files from the agency’s Mexico City Station, where Oswald had visited the Cuban and Soviet embassies in September 1963. The originals allegedly contained surveillance photos and film, which the CIA has long denied possessing.
