Khanna to introduce bill that would establish Truth and Accountability Commission

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) is introducing legislation that would create the first-ever Truth and Accountability Commission to investigate what he calls abuses of power by the Trump administration.

The bill, first shared with The Hill, notes the commission would examine several issues, including the administration’s decision to launch a war in Iran without congressional authorization.

It would also examine President Trump and his family’s alleged use of public office for private enrichment; unreleased files related to deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; “shootings and other uses of force” by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol officers; and other executive branch actions, such as the firing of federal employees under the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and funding freezes.
