August 9, 2008 FBI documents reveal new look at JFK assassination Play video

(NECN) - A newly released FBI file is revealing a different look at the investigation into the assassination of President John F Kennedy.

Documents show Gerald Ford, then a congressman, secretly advised the FBI that two of his fellow members on the Warren Commission doubted JFK had been shot from the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository.

The FBI's large file on Ford was released in part this past week in response to requests under the Freedom of Information Act made by the media on the day Ford died in 2006.

The file offers detailed descriptions of Ford's work as an FBI informant.
