The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced Tuesday the formation of a task force that will push for the declassification of government records related to several topics of intense public interest.
The newly formed House Oversight Task Force on the Declassification of Government Secrets will seek documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy; Jeffrey Epstein’s client list; the origins of COVID-19; unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs); and the 9/11 attacks.
The task force sent communications this morning to about a dozen agencies and departments including the Department of Justice and the Secretary of State. Its first hearing is set for March. The committee’s first investigation will focus on the assassination of President Kennedy.
“For too long the American spirit has been dimmed by a veil of secrecy,” said Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the task force’s lead, at a press conference. “We’ve been treated like children for too long and kept in the dark by those we elected to represent US.”
Luna said that she expects the task force to be bipartisan.
Republican Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky said that transparency was a “keystone” of Trump’s electoral mandate.
“For far too long the American people have had reasonable questions of what their government, which they fund every day, keeps hidden about certain issues,” Comer said. “This creates distrust in our institutions. That ends today.”
The task force expects a collaborative relationship with the new Trump administration.
