A CIA whistleblower, revealing his identity for the first time, tells Axios he saw a secret document in which an agency official bragged about misleading congressional investigators about Lee Harvey Oswald's activities in Mexico before President Kennedy was assassinated.

Why it matters: Pearcy's description of the nearly 50-page document — a CIA inspector general's report — sheds new light on how intelligence agents routinely have covered up facts and records about Kennedy's slaying that still haven't been made public.
