Presidents insulated from plots: Senate panel findings
The Senate intelligence committee found serious doubt that American presidents knew or approved CIA assassination plots. It cited plausible denial and circuit breakers like the 40 Committee to keep presidents insulated. It noted tacit authorizations, minimal briefings, and attempts to deny knowledge if revelations arose. The panel found insufficient evidence Eisenhower Kennedy Johnson authorized Castro plots but inferred Eisenhower could have authorized Lumumba's assassination plot.
