We will also investigate UAPs/USOs, the Epstein client list, COVID-19 origins, and the 9/11 files.
I will investigate COVID-19 origins through the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.
Occurrences
Evidence
House Oversight announced the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets and said it would be led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. Luna stated the task force would investigate UAPs/USOs, the Epstein client list, COVID-19 origins, and 9/11 files. The release also said Comer and Luna sent 11 letters to initiate declassification efforts.
The official task force page lists Anna Paulina Luna as Chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets for FL-13.
In a letter to Energy Secretary Chris Wright, the Committee and Task Force said they were conducting oversight of declassification records and requested a briefing by February 18, 2025 on documents in DOE possession regarding the origin of COVID-19. The letter said the Committee and Task Force would then seek to review the documents and make declassification recommendations. It was signed by James Comer and Anna Paulina Luna.
In a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Committee and Task Force requested a briefing by February 18, 2025 identifying classified or unclassified State Department records regarding the origin of COVID-19, followed by task-force document review and declassification recommendations. The letter was signed by Comer and Luna.
In a letter to CIA Director John Ratcliffe, the Committee and Task Force requested a briefing by February 18, 2025 on CIA documents regarding the origin of COVID-19, including classified or unclassified categories, and said the Task Force would seek to review the records and recommend declassification.
Rule 14 authorizes the Committee chair to appoint panels or task forces to carry out Committee duties, appoint task-force chairs, and apply House and Committee rules for meetings, hearings, recommendations, and reports to task-force work.
Assessments
Luna chaired the authorized House Oversight Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets and used that role in the same congressional term to pursue COVID-19 origins records. The task force sent formal letters, signed by Luna, requesting briefings and document review from DOE, CIA, and State, with stated intent to make declassification recommendations. Because the promise was to investigate through the task force, not necessarily to secure final declassification, these official oversight actions satisfy the promise.
