Luna to lead new ‘federal secrets’ task force on JFK assassination
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R–Fla.), the head of a new congressional task force aimed at exposing “federal secrets,” said Tuesday that she believes “two shooters” were involved in the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.
The task force — which will also probe pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s client list — intends to build on the Trump administration’s efforts to declassify records related to the assassinations of JFK, former New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and will start with a “thorough investigation” of JFK’s November 1963 shooting death in Dallas, Texas.
“Based on what I’ve been seeing so far, the initial hearing that was actually held here in Congress was actually faulty in the single-bullet theory,” Luna said during a Capitol Hill press conference, referring to the Warren Commission.
“I believe that there were two shooters,” she added.
The Warren Commission, a nearly year-long government probe into the JFK assassination, determined that Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, who acted alone.
However, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in its final report in 1979 that Kennedy “was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.”
“There’s been conflicting evidence,” Luna said of the various probes into the JFK assassination, “and I think that even the FBI at the time reported some anomalies in the initial autopsy at Bethesda, Maryland.”
“All of those, though, seem to have been rinsed and repeated in the media to push a certain narrative that we don’t agree with,” the congresswoman argued, noting that she hopes the new task force can “put to bed some of the theories that have been out there” about the JFK assassination with “the full truth.”
“And the full truth starts with transparency,” Luna said.
The bipartisan task force plans to bring in some of the “attending physicians at the initial assassination” to provide testimony, as well as people that sat on “various commissions” investigating the assassination, according to Luna.
The Florida Republican also hopes that the task force, which will be housed under the House Oversight Committee, will be allowed to review thousands of pages of JFK assassination files before they are released to the public.
President Trump ordered the declassification and release of long-secret files on the assassinations of JFK, his brother RFK and King last month.
The FBI alone unearthed about 14,000 pages worth of material related to the JFK assassination since Trump’s executive order, Axios reported Monday.
Luna said the task force will also investigate unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP), unidentified submerged objects (USO), the client list of dead sex offender Epstein, the origins of COVID-19 origins, and government files related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“We will work alongside President Trump and his cabinet members to deliver truth to the American people,” Luna said. “From this moment forward, we will restore trust through transparency.”
