Well, it was my understanding that Lee Harvey Oswald was an employee of the agency and was an agent of the agency. > > Mr. Goldsmith. What do you mean by the term "agent"? > > Mr. Wilcott. That he was a regular employee, receiving a full-time salary for agent work for doing CIA operational work. The site claim is currently (June 17, 2021) one of the top posts in r/conspiracy. Did a former CIA accountant testify that Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA employee?

The testimony is available from archives.gov, apparently released in October 2017; it matches the testimony given in the claim.

In it, James Wilcott testifies that, while working at the CIA, he heard rumours from several colleagues that Oswald worked for the CIA, he was told the cryptonym (code name) purportedly of Oswald, but he didn't see any evidence to support the rumour.
