House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Tuesday revealed the Republican lawmakers who will serve on the newly formed Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.
The group will be responsible for overseeing the release of classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the client list of Jeffrey Epstein.
The Republican members appointed to the task force include Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (FL), Nancy Mace (SC), Tim Burchett (TN), Lauren Boebert (CO), Eli Crane (AZ), Eric Burlison (MO), and Brandon Gill (TX).

She has been vocal about the need for transparency in government records, particularly concerning historic events with long-standing public interest.
Comer emphasized the importance of the initiative in a statement, saying, “Ensuring government transparency for the American people is a core mission of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The Republicans on Rep. Luna’s task force are steadfast champions of transparency, and I am confident they will vigorously pursue and deliver the truth on critical issues.”
Luna confirmed that the task force’s first hearing is scheduled for March and will focus on records related to Kennedy’s assassination.
“First hearing will cover JFK,” Luna stated.
“I am looking to bring in a few people. To include an individual on the assassination record review board as well as someone on the House Select Committee on Assassinations.”
As of now, no Democratic lawmakers have joined the task force.
While previous efforts to declassify these records have received bipartisan support, it remains unclear if any Democrats will participate in this specific initiative.
The release of JFK assassination records has been a topic of public debate for decades.
While many files have been made public, some remain classified, fueling speculation and calls for full transparency.
In 2023, the Biden-Harris administration released thousands of previously withheld documents but opted to keep certain records sealed, citing national security concerns.
The Epstein client list has also been a subject of significant interest. Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes and later died in a New York jail under controversial circumstances in 2019, was known to have connections with high-profile individuals in politics, business, and entertainment.
Calls to release the full list of names tied to Epstein’s illegal activities have persisted as part of broader demands for accountability.
With its first hearing set for March, the task force is expected to move forward with efforts to declassify and release information on both topics.
