Spoiler:


Hill makes it known in Strauss’s senate hearing that Strauss started the Oppenheimer character assassination.

Did they explain how he knew about it? I’ve watched it 3 times know and I completely missed it if they did.

I don’t think it’s shown. And it was probably a shrewd consensus guess on the part of the scientific community.

I think it was well known in that group of people.

It's never explained. However, I think it's heavily implied that it's common knowledge when Kitty Oppenheimer goes on her tirade about how Strauss is behind all of it as she gets mad at her husband for refusing to fight the charges against him.

I don’t know do the movie explicitly says, but the scene where he testifies is accurate.

I’m not sure the book explained it either. I’m assuming it wasn’t a well kept secret in the scientific community.

It was extremely well known and not a secret at the time.

Seriously. I went through the last half of the film wondering why Malik had such a small part.

Right? Couldn’t help but notice him just standing there when he popped up.

Does he even speak prior to the hearing? Maybe the one scene with Szilard, can’t remember.

As I recall he says as much in his testimony.
