House Republicans Launch Task Force to Declassify Key Federal Secrets

A newly formed Republican task force in the House of Representatives, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, aims to declassify sensitive federal documents related to high-profile incidents such as the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as the Jeffrey Epstein client list and 9/11 files. This initiative follows President Trump's Executive Order 14176, which calls for transparency in government secrets. The task force consists of seven Republican members, including notable figures like Reps. Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert, and is expected to prioritize swift document release. Chairman James Comer emphasized the need for greater transparency, indicating that the group's efforts respond to public demand for accountability. The first hearing is scheduled for March, focusing on the Kennedy assassination. The task force's mission is framed as a commitment to uncovering the truth behind historically significant events that have long been shrouded in secrecy.
