At 3 p.m. Tuesday, U.S. House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) introduced the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, to be headed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), at a press conference in Washington, DC. The new panel will investigate a range of opaque episodes in U.S. history, including those of the last few years (COVID-19, Jeffrey Epstein), to the beginning of the 21st century (9/11 terror attacks), all the way back to the assassinations of the 1960s, including the murder of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Luna is perhaps best known for advocating transparency over official secrets surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAPs, also a Task Force subject. Remarking that America’s founders idealized “individual sovereignty,” she opined that the “veil of secrecy” over matters of legitimate public interest had “dimmed” Americans’ hopes.
