From Just the News:
Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. said the Central Intelligence Agency is responsible "beyond a reasonable doubt" for the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy.
"There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point," Kennedy said about his uncle's 1963 assassination in Dallas, Texas, during a radio interview Sunday. "The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder, and in the cover-up," he also said.
Kennedy also recommended a book by James Douglas, "JFK and the Unspeakable," to learn more about the topic.
Kennedy, who was 14 when his father Robert Kennedy was assassinated during his 1968 presidential campaign, nevertheless acknowledge about his claim: "The evidence of the CIA [being] involved in my father's death is very convincing but it's circumstantial."
The Warren Commission, the official congressional probe into John F. Kennedy's death, concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating the president.
However, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in 1979 that Kennedy was "probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy," but said the FBI, CIA and Secret Service were not involved in the plot.Palestinian communist Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of killing Kennedy's father, but in 2021 the presidential candidate said that "overwhelming evidence" shows that "Sirhan is not my father’s killer."

I have dabbled in the writings and theories about the JFK assassination but never found anything that struck me as very convincing circumstantial evidence.
On an unrelated note, I just finished the immensely enjoyable Knight of Maison Rouge by Dumas. I wonder if you've come across this work and, if so, what you thought of it.
Upon further thought, maybe historical fiction is not so unrelated to theories of the JFK assassination. It is sort of a pity there is no American Dumas to produce a more satisfying history of the assassination. (But, then, perhaps there have been too many American Dumas on this subject, but of the discount variety.)
I found Mark Shaw's writings on the Kennedy assassination and the murder of Dorothy Kilgallen, who was researching it, to be compelling. The historical novels of Dumas pere et fils are all worth reading and have bits of truth woven in, in varying degrees.
