(NewsNation) — The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced the formation of a tasks force for the declassification of federal secrets.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., will lead the bipartisan task force that will take on a number of issues, including topics that have spawned conspiracies.
Luna has been involved in investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) or, as they are more commonly known, UFOs.
The task force is building on an executive order issued by President Donald Trump calling for the declassification of all files related to the John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. assassinations.
Other topics will include UAPs, the Epstein list, 9/11 files and the origins of COVID-19.
While all of those have sparked long-standing conspiracy theories, Luna maintained the group was not a conspiracy investigation committee but one intending to present information for Americans to determine the truth.
“We stand at the dawn of a new era,” she said.
Luna stressed that the committee is a bipartisan effort that includes Democratic lawmakers.
She also said the committee has already begun the process of communicating with several federal agencies to request information.
If those agencies do not comply, Luna said the group would take action and do more than write letters protesting the lack of transparency.
Previously, a bipartisan group of lawmakers had discussed forming a UFO caucus or task force to investigate recent whistleblower claims of secret UAP programs.
