THE TRUMP FILES
Epstein ‘client list’, ‘2 JFK shooters’, 9/11 & UFOs…Trump taskforce to declassify secret docs on US’s biggest mysteries
New potential revelations could shake America to its core
A NEW Trump task force will blow the lid off a raft of "federal secrets" - including possible bombshells on a second JFK shooter and Epstein's full client list.
Anna Luna, Florida representative - appointed to spearhead the crack team - also announced files about 9/11 and UFOs would be unearthed.

The task force is born in the wake of Trump's executive order to declassify all remaining records relating to JFK's assassination, and those of his Robert F Kenney and Martine Luther King.
It was revealed on Monday that the FBI had discovered thousands of new top-secret JFK files after Trump's order.
Luna, 35, said: “For too long, the American spirit has been dimmed by veil of secrecy, by a government that has grown too comfortable in the shadows, denying us the transparency we deserve."
She claimed the government "has been hiding information for decades”.

Alongside Luna was James Comey, Kentucky representative, who said: "[Luna] is committed to throwing open the windows for the American people to allow the sunlight of truth shine on the federal government."
Luna vowed to “restore trust through transparency".
EPSTEIN'S CLIENT LIST
Luna said she wants to expose any cover-up protecting people involved in Jefferey Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
Some names from Epstein's "black book" have already been revealed in court documents.

That list drew ties between the disgraced financier and a number of high-profile names including Prince Andrew, President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and Trump himself - although there was no suggestion of any wrongdoing.
The publication of a full client list has explosive potential to drag new names into association with the dead child sex offender - and figures across America have been demanding Trump sees it through.
‘This is huge’- FBI discovers THOUSANDS more top secret JFK assassination documents after Trump’s order to release files
Senator Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, said after Trump's inauguration: "I have been working on this for years, trying to get those records of who flew on Epstein's plane and who helped him build this international human trafficking, sex trafficking ring,"
Trump says he fell out with Epstein in the 1990s - year's before his the child sex offender was first arrested in 2008.
The President also insisted he never went Epstein's sex island home and new nothing about the abuse of underage girls.
Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan prison in August 2019 while awaiting trial on fresh charges of trafficking teenage girls.
After his death, Ghislaine Maxwell - his former girlfriend - was convicted of child sex trafficking for her role in supplying girls to the island and jailed for 20 years.

Who is Anna Luna?
ANNA Paulina Luna is the Florida Rep appointed as the head of a new task force focused on declassifying federal secrets - including JFK's assassination, the Epstein files, 9/11 and UFOs.
The body's full title is the "Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets".
At 35, she is young to be appointed to such a position of such responsibility.
Luna hails from Santa Ana, California, and graduated from the University of west Florida in 2017.
Her father had a drug addiction problem and never married her mother, who wed another man when Luna was nine - only to divorce four years later.
She joined Turning Point USA and unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the House in 2020, but was elected in 2022 with Trump's support in her primary.
Luna is a staunch Conservative and self-described "pro-life extremist".
JFK ASSASSINATION
In her first press conference at the helm of the taskforce, Luna made the earth-shaking claim there were "two shooters" involved in the JFK assassination.
She said: “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.
"I believe there were two shooters."
The Warren Commission, a thorough government probe into the 1963 assassination, concluded JFK was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald - acting alone.
But conspiracy theories have swirled for over 60 years as the public speculated unreleased top-secret files might show otherwise - and Luna's words will be fuel to those flames.

The White House was told on Friday about a bundle of unseen JFK files that had not been seen by the review board and were never submitted to the National Archive.
The FBI unearthed 2,400 more records - containing 14,000 pages of material - which the taskforce hopes to be allowed to review before they go public.
Luna said she is determined to reach "the full truth" and "put to bed some of the theories that have been out there".

9/11
Taskforce head Luna said she wants to figure out and make public what information the CIA had in hand before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Official information states that the CIA had some information on plane hijackers - but not enough to prevent the attacks.
President George Bush was handed a daily brief infamously titled: "Bin Laden determined to strike in US" on August 6, 2001 - a little over a month before the disaster.
And Cofer Black, then chief of the CIA's counterterrorism unit, said that by May 2001 it had been "very evident that we were going to be struck, we were gonna be struck hard and lots of Americans were going to die".

The agency was handed a list of 19 suspects by Mossad - Israel's intelligence agency - in August 2001, four of which became 9/11 hijackers.
There have been long-standing claims that the CIA could have shared intel with the FBI more effectively
Luna has vowed to air all the details on who knew what when, but insisted: "This is not a conspiracy theory investigating committee."
UFOS
Luna also declared the taskforce would investigate UFOs - or what the government calls Unidentified Aerial Phenomena [UAPs].
The US has a long history of UFO sightings, kicked off in modern times in 1947 when pilot Kenneth Arnold claimed to see a string of "flying saucers" near Mount Rainier, Washington.
Other famous cases include The Roswell Incident - also in 1947 - when UFO hunters claimed to have captured an alien aircraft in New Mexico.
There was a flurry of reports in The Hudson Valley, New York State, when people claimed to have seen V-shaped UFOs with multicoloured lights in the sky.

More recently, in 2006, 12 United Airlines employees at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport - as well as some witnesses outside the site - reported seeing a dark grey metallic craft hovering.
The Pentagon has a department - the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office [AARO] tasked with investigating all UAPs.
Its latest report revealed hundreds of new sightings of UFOs, though rejects that any are evidence of alien activity.

The reel of bizarre sightings included floating brains and jellyfish-shaped UAPs.
Luna played a role in the 2023 House Oversight Investigation of military classification on unidentified flying objects, which included those captured on surveillance at Eglin Air Force base in Florida.
JFK's assassination explained
JFK was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963 as he travelled in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza.
Three shots were fired, two of which hit him in the neck and head.
Half an hour after the shots were fired, the 35th president of the United States was pronounced dead.
Oswald, a 24-year-old self-proclaimed Marxist, was soon arrested in a nearby cinema after police hunted the killer of one of their fellow officers.
He denied shooting anybody, claiming to reporters that he was a "patsy".
Later he was accused of shooting the president dead with his $21 mail-order rifle from a window of the sixth floor of a nearby school textbook warehouse.
Two days after the assassination and his arrest, Oswald was being escorted from Dallas Police Headquarters to county prison.
As he was taken out in front of the world’s media, Jack Ruby stepped forward and shot him dead.
Ruby was later found guilty of murder.
The Warren Commission in 1964 reported that Oswald had been the lone gunman, and another congressional probe in 1979 found no evidence to support the theory that the CIA had been involved.
But some say this was a cover-up.
Conspiracy theories include a CIA plot, a mafia-hit job, and a covert operation by Vice President Lyndon Johnson.
