JFK task force head Anna Paulina Luna believes ‘two shooters’ were involved in Kennedy assassination

Donald Trump’s pick to lead the task force on government secrets, from John F. Kennedy’s murder to Jeffrey Epstein’s client list, has spoken out.

Task force set up to reveal the truth about JFK's assassination

Republican Anna Paulina Luna (R–Fla.), the head of a new congressional task force aimed at exposing “federal secrets,” said 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.”

FBI UNCOVERS 2400 NEW JFK RECORDS UNDER TRUMP ORDER

The FBI has uncovered 2400 new records about President John F. Kennedy’s assassination following President Trump’s order to release the secret files, according to reports.

Those documents contain about 14,000 pages worth of material that a disclosure board was supposed to review but never saw, Axios reported Monday.

The White House learned about the never-before-reviewed documents on Friday as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence presented its plan to disclose the remaining documents.

“This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously,” said Jefferson Morley, the vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, which has the largest online record of JFK assassination records.

“The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going,” he added.

Exactly what is in the newly discovered documents remains secret at least for now.

Trump ordered the release of all files from Kennedy’s 1963 assassination — which has been mired in decades-long conspiracy theories.

But experts have cautioned that the final release of documents is unlikely to reveal whether the official story – that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy – is true, or that conspiracy theories suggesting he was aided by shadowy government or criminal entities have any merit.

The 1992 JFK Records Act mandated that all documents related to the assassination and investigation into it were to be handed over to an official JFK Assassination Records Review Board and the National Archives, which would then be disclosed in full by 2017.

Trump blocked the full disclosure during his first term on the advice of the CIA, but reportedly regretted the decision.

A partial records release happened under Biden, but no new revelations came out of it.

“Everything will be revealed,” Trump said on Jan. 23 while signing the latest release order, which also requested all records related to Robert F. Kennedy and the Martin Luther King Jr. assassinations be released.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – who has been nominated as Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services – believes both his father’s and uncle’s murders were part of greater conspiracies.

All documents are expected to be released by March 9, according to Trump’s order.

But some sources told Axios that the documents are still being subjected to heavy redaction recommendations — which Trump would not be pleased with.

“This is total deep state bulls**t,” one said.
