A new Republican-led task force in the House intends to investigate and release formerly classified information related to several major events that have spurred conspiracy theories that have lingered across the U.S. such as the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy Jr., the September 11 terrorist attacks and the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.
The task force does not have subpoena powers, but Comer said the Oversight Committee, which does, will back the task force to compel testimony if needed.
So far, Luna has announced six Republicans as part of the task force, though she said she would be expanding it to the “entire governing body” for “certain members” and insisted it would be a “beacon of bipartisanship.”.
It seeks to declassify records related to areas of “public interest” as part of Trump’s executive order on releasing information about the assassinations of Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy.
Luna’s task force has approximately six months to complete the project and has already asked members of the Trump administration for documents – both classified and not – as well as briefings.
