Our government never admits it when they overthrow a foreign government by covert means. This is especially the case when the government we organized a coup against is that of an ostensible ally, like Egypt. As far as concrete "proof" is concerned, if you can't read the signs of a CIA-funded and organized coup, you will just have to wait until enough time has passed for the truth to come out.
I remember when Nixon ordered Chile's Allende overthrown (we used the military that time too, we usually do). I simply could not believe the government of the United States would do such a thing. It was inconceivable to me. Since then I've seen too many more of these things to be so naive.
