A retired Secret Service agent who was feet away from President John F. Kennedy when he was assassinated in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, is now coming forward with his version of events that challenge the official government narrative.
Ex-agent Paul Landis, who struggled so much in the aftermath of the assassination that he left the Secret Service, is publicly telling his full story for the first time after more than six decades, The New York Times reported Saturday.
Landis, 88, had always believed that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting the president. Without elaborating further, Landis said: “At this point, I’m beginning to doubt myself. … Now I begin to wonder.”
In recent years, he has shared his account with multiple key figures, including former Secret Service Director Lewis Merletti as well as author and lawyer James Robenalt. His entire narrative will be detailed in his upcoming memoir, “The Final Witness,” which will be published Oct. 10.
