A congressional task force has been formed to review and declassify long-held federal records, including documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The initiative follows an executive order by President Donald Trump demanding full transparency on historically significant government files.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has been appointed to lead the “Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets,” created by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY). The panel will also investigate documents on Jeffrey Epstein’s client list, 9/11-related intelligence, the origins of COVID-19, and unidentified aerial phenomena.
Trump’s order directs intelligence agencies to prepare a plan within 15 days for the complete release of JFK assassination records. A similar review of RFK and MLK-related documents must be completed within 45 days. The FBI has already uncovered 14,000 pages related to the JFK case, with additional classified files still awaiting release.
Luna has questioned previous investigations into Kennedy’s death, pointing to evidence she believes contradicts the official explanation. “I believe there were two shooters,” she stated, referencing inconsistencies in the Warren Commission’s findings. She also noted that past reports on Kennedy’s assassination contained contradictions that require further review.
The committee plans to hear testimony from medical professionals involved in Kennedy’s autopsy, as well as individuals who participated in past assassination investigations. Comer and Luna have begun contacting federal agencies to ensure access to all classified records related to these cases.
The task force will operate under the House Oversight Committee, with the goal of uncovering and making available previously withheld information to the public.
