wait didn't the cia literally admit to this recently
Yah this is from the JFK files (linked in another comment above) where they mention using Hungarians to try assassinating Castro shortly after they fled Hungary.
Not that I have heard of, maybe I missed that.
Here is an unredacted file from the JFK files release last year that shows them admitting that the "Hungarian Freedom Fighters were Agency [CIA] sponsored"

Is that the same as admitting to orchestrating a coup? They were certainly funding groups who did orchestrate the coup. And General Kiraly, who organized armed uprisings, was a former Nazi that in the 60s was being recommended as a prime contact for anti-Cuban assets to meet with.
Anyway, there is also this article: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/mi6-trained-rebels-to-fight-soviets-in-hungarian-revolt-1359599.html about how MI6 was training Hungarians to do a coup.
