NextImg:Congress creates task force to look into UAPs, COVID origins, JFK assassination, Epstein client list

The House Oversight Committee has established a new Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, chaired by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican. The initiative, announced by Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, aims to address public distrust in government by investigating various classified matters. The task force’s creation aligns with President Donald Trump’s transparency initiatives, including his executive order to declassify information about the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

The panel’s scope encompasses several high-profile topics, including unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), unidentified submerged objects, Jeffrey Epstein’s client list, COVID-19 origins and documents related to the Sept. 11 attacks. Rep. Luna emphasized that this is not a conspiracy theory committee but rather a pursuit of truth for the American public.

The Republican members already appointed to the panel include Reps. Tim Burchett, Lauren Boebert, Eric Burleson, Eli Crane, Brandon Gill, and Nancy Mace. While no Democrats have joined yet, Rep. Luna expressed optimism about bipartisan participation and claimed support from key federal agencies including the White House, Justice Department, FBI and CIA.



The committee’s first investigation will focus on JFK’s assassination, with plans to hear testimony from original examining physicians and former commission members. The panel has initiated information requests to various federal agencies, including the State Department, Pentagon, CIA and NSA. However, the task force itself won’t have independent subpoena power, operating instead as a subsidiary of the full Oversight Committee.
