According to a British newspaper, Jackie Kennedy expressed her suspicions that Lyndon Johnson was involved in the assassination of her husband, John Kennedy, will be revealed when tapes from the era are released next week. This will be televised on ABC-TV in the US. Interestingly, the History Channel several years ago ran an hour-long program centering an a mistress of Lyndon who maintained he was responsible for the murder of President Kennedy. After complaints, probably from the court historians and court politicians, History announced it would no longer telecast that hour for it diminished the high standards of the channel. So rather than impugn the integrity of former President Johnson, History Channel runs hours of such high-level programs like Ancient Aliens.
On the other side, the History Channel pulled out of a biographical program on the Kennedys when the family objected. There was speculation that the writing was too Republican. Although Katie Holmes and other stars were featured in the film, it was not shown on History Channel.
It is interesting that at least two riders in the limo in which JFK was killed, his wife and Gov. Connely of Texas, did not believe the official lone-nut story of the assassination.
