A Republican representative has claimed that NBC are holding on to a videotape that proves Lee Harvey Oswald did not assassinate President John F. Kennedy. 

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla, made the bold claims while appearing on Fox News alongside host Jesse Watters on Friday night.  

Luna had been talking about the recent release of over 80,000 pages of new material by the National Archive in relation to JFK’s assassination. 

Watters had questioned Luna over whether she believes all of the documents concerning the death of Kennedy have been released. 

She replied: ‘We’re in the process of tracking down two specific documents. I would like to tell the American people, NBC has a video that has never been seen before.

‘It allegedly shows Oswald near the vehicle when the assassination took place, which means he couldn’t have been the shooter. We are tracking down all this information.’

Watters responded: ‘You’re saying that NBC has been keeping this tape of Oswald under wraps?’

Luna continued: ‘Correct. Director Stone told us that he was shown this tape, and he this could blow open the entire JFK investigation.’

She added: ‘He said that NBC has been very much so guarding this tape, I believe that that tape belongs to the American people.

‘I would encourage everyone to ask NBC to release that tape, it’s open that the American people know the truth as to what happened with John F. Kennedy.’

DailyMail.com has approached NBC for comment.  

JFK was killed Nov. 22, 1963, on a visit to Dallas, when his motorcade was finishing its parade route downtown and shots rang out.

Police arrested 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald, who had positioned himself from a sniper’s perch on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building.

Oswald was killed two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby during a jail transfer, sparking a conspiracy theory that he was offed to stop him talking to investigators.  

A year after the assassination, the Warren Commission, which president Johnson established to investigate, concluded that Oswald acted alone.

That final outcome hasn’t done anything to quell a whole web of alternative theories over the decades. 

Many of the documents recently released without the redactions that had confounded historians for years and helped fuel conspiracy theories.

The US National Archives and Records Administration posted to its website roughly 2,200 files containing the documents. 

They included typewritten reports and handwritten notes spanning decades, including details of a top CIA agent who claimed the deep state was responsible,  Oswald being a ‘poor shot’ and that Secret Service had been warned Kennedy would be killed in August, three months before the murder.

The rollout of the files stunned Trump’s national security team, who spent 24 hours racing to assess security hazards ahead of publication.

The vast majority of the National Archives’ collection of over 6 million pages of records, photographs, motion pictures, sound recordings and artifacts related to the assassination have previously been released.

Before the latest release researchers had estimated that 3,000 to 3,500 files were still unreleased, either wholly or partially. 

Just last month the FBI said it had discovered about 2,400 new records related to the assassination. 

One of the most popular theories asserts there was a second gunman who fired shots at JFK from a now-iconic ‘grassy knoll’ to the right of his car as it passed by.

No definitive proof of that claim has ever been shared.
