What’s the Best Way to Reveal a Government Secret?
15th February 2025
House Republicans this week announced their “Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.” This follows an executive order issued last month by President Donald Trump ordering the release of records about the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. The broad idea is to get the federal government to reveal all its information about these assassinations as well as topics like Jeffrey Epstein, the origins of Covid-19 and UAPs (formerly known as UFOs).
Rather than speculate about whether Trump and Congress will follow through, I would like to focus on the question of how this disclosure process
should[ought to] work.
