Slide 1: The Charlie Kirk Files Forced Disclosure Act

Law 1: Law Enforcement Disclosure

  • Author: Bryan Starbuck (BryanStarbuck@gmail.com)
  • Case: State of Utah v. Tyler Alexander Robinson (Case No. 251403576)
  • Court: Fourth Judicial District Court, Utah County
  • Date of Death: September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, Orem, Utah
  • Modeled after: Epstein Files Transparency Act (Public Law 119-38)
  • One of four companion laws designed to force full government disclosure

Slide 2: Why This Law Exists

The Problem: A Coverup of Historic Proportions

  • Charlie Kirk, one of America's most prominent conservative figures, was killed at a public university event on September 10, 2025
  • The FBI has been accused of requesting witnesses delete video evidence, and videos were remotely deleted from witness devices
  • The crime scene at UVU was paved over, destroying forensic evidence
  • FOIA and GRAMA requests have been blocked
  • Approximately 12 Israeli-registered cell phones were detected at the shooting site
  • Egyptian military aircraft delivered personnel with Defense Attache badges to Provo Airport days before the assassination
  • A HADES surveillance aircraft (N1098L) was circling 35 minutes before the shooting
  • The official narrative does not withstand scrutiny

Slide 3: Precedent - The Epstein Files Transparency Act

Public Law 119-38: The Model for This Law

  • Passed the House of Representatives 427-1
  • Passed the Senate by unanimous consent
  • Sponsored by Congressman Thomas Massie
  • Required the DOJ to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation
  • Demonstrated bipartisan consensus that forced disclosure is constitutional and necessary
  • This law uses the Epstein Act as its structural template, but with stronger enforcement
  • If Congress could force disclosure on Epstein, it can force disclosure on the Charlie Kirk assassination

Slide 4: What Failed Before

Lessons from the JFK Act and Epstein Act

  • JFK Assassination Records Collection Act (1992): Successive Presidents exercised override authority to withhold records for over 30 years -- despite a law requiring disclosure
  • Epstein Files Transparency Act: DOJ released only approximately 12,285 documents out of potentially 6+ million pages by the statutory deadline
  • No Special Master mechanism existed to compel compliance in the Epstein Act
  • Both laws lacked criminal penalties for non-compliance
  • Both laws allowed executive branch discretion to delay or withhold
  • This law is designed to fix every structural failure that allowed prior cover-ups to succeed

Slide 5: This Law's Approach - What Makes It Different

Seven Structural Innovations

  • Criminal penalties: Up to 10 years for withholding, 15 years for destruction of records
  • No presidential override: The President cannot delay, suspend, or override disclosure
  • Automatic budget cuts: 10% per month for non-compliant agencies, up to 50%
  • Independent oversight board: 5-citizen review board with subpoena power, appointed by Congress -- not the President
  • Private right of action: Any citizen can sue to compel compliance
  • Records preservation triggered at bill introduction -- not enactment -- to prevent pre-passage destruction
  • NDA override: No secrecy agreement can prevent disclosure under this Act

Slide 6: Constitutional Authority

Section 0(a): Congress Has the Power

  • Article I legislative and oversight powers -- Congress's core investigative authority
  • Spending Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 1) -- authority over state and local cooperation through federal funding conditions
  • Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3) -- authority over financial records and interstate communications
  • This is not novel constitutional territory -- Congress regularly conditions federal funds on state compliance
  • The Epstein Act established precedent that Congress can compel DOJ disclosure by statute
  • Congress has inherent oversight authority over all executive branch agencies

Slide 7: Inadequacy of Existing Investigations

Section 0(b): Why Current Investigations Have Failed

  • Allegations of evidence destruction at the crime scene
  • Crime scene alteration -- the site was paved over
  • Witness intimidation -- including fake therapy sessions and threats
  • Blocked FOIA requests regarding key persons of interest
  • Failure to investigate approximately 12 Israeli-registered cell phones at the shooting site
  • Failure to investigate Egyptian military aircraft delivering personnel with Defense Attache badges to Provo Airport
  • Failure to investigate the HADES surveillance aircraft circling 35 minutes before the shooting
  • These are not speculative claims -- they are documented facts that demand investigation

Slide 8: Public Interest in Transparency

Section 0(c)-(d): The People Deserve the Truth

  • Charlie Kirk was a prominent public figure killed at a public venue
  • Substantial evidence suggests involvement beyond a single individual
  • The integrity of public institutions depends upon transparency and accountability
  • The JFK Act failed because it allowed presidential override for 30+ years
  • The Epstein Act suffered compliance failures with no enforcement mechanism
  • This law is designed to remedy these structural deficiencies
  • The public interest in disclosure is compelling and overrides any claim of executive privilege

Slide 9: Covered Agencies

Section 1(a): Who Must Disclose

  • Department of Justice (DOJ)
  • Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
  • Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
  • U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
  • Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
  • Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
  • Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
  • Any federal, state, or local law enforcement agency that has participated in, contributed to, or possesses information related to the investigation
  • The definition is intentionally broad -- no agency can claim it is not covered

Slide 10: Covered Records

Section 1(b): What Must Be Disclosed

  • All files, documents, communications, reports, forensic evidence, witness statements
  • All surveillance records, digital records, photographs, video and audio recordings
  • All cell site location information and geofence warrant data
  • All flight records, financial records, ballistics analyses, autopsy reports
  • All records enumerated in Schedule A (208 Critical Disclosure Items)
  • Any records that could identify any person involved in or connected to the death
  • All records relating to foreign intelligence activity in Utah (Jan-Dec 2025)
  • All internal communications regarding the investigation, including charging decisions and case strategy
  • Any records relating to evidence collection, preservation, alteration, or destruction

Slide 11: People Involved - Schedule B Overview

Section 1(f): 35 Categories of People (P1-P35)

  • P1-P4: TPUSA organization, security, AV crew, all persons at UVU
  • P5-P9: FBI personnel, DOJ prosecutors, state/local law enforcement, judges, defense attorneys
  • P10-P14: Intelligence community, foreign operatives, military personnel, aircraft crews, drone operators
  • P15-P16: Distraction persons, airport personnel
  • P17-P19: TPUSA donors, Kirk's associates, Erika Kirk and family
  • P20-P22: Medical personnel, crime scene alteration personnel, witnesses
  • P23-P24: Insurance/financial persons, Tyler Robinson's associates
  • P25-P27: Political figures, lobbyists, media with inside knowledge
  • P28-P31: AES personnel, rental/lodging staff, telecom employees, UVU staff
  • P32-P35: Aircraft passengers, Scott Lazerson connections, religious leaders, catch-all

Slide 12: Key Definitions

Section 1(c)-(h): Precision in Language

  • "Death of Charlie Kirk" -- the killing on September 10, 2025, AND all events, planning, coordination, and circumstances leading to, surrounding, and following it
  • "Investigation" -- any federal, state, or local inquiry, intelligence assessment, or governmental examination, including State of Utah v. Tyler Alexander Robinson
  • "Good-faith compliance" -- genuine effort to identify, locate, and disclose EVERY covered record, without evasion, delay, or technicalities
  • "Designated Trusted Investigator" -- an investigator designated under Law 4 (Trusted Investigators Act), or any independent investigator appointed by the review board
  • "Disclosure body" -- the independent review board established under Section 8
  • Definitions are deliberately expansive to prevent agencies from exploiting ambiguity

Slide 13: Broad Mandatory Disclosure

Section 2(a): The 30-Day Catch-All

  • Within 30 days of enactment, all covered agencies shall produce and make publicly available ALL records related to the death of Charlie Kirk
  • Records must be in a searchable and downloadable format
  • This requirement is NOT limited to the specific items in Schedule A
  • It extends to any and all information that could assist in understanding the investigation
  • No covered agency may claim any privilege, classification, or exemption -- except as narrowly provided in Section 4
  • This is the broadest possible disclosure mandate -- designed to prevent agencies from hiding behind technicalities

Slide 14: Certification Under Perjury

Section 2(c): Personal Accountability

  • Each covered agency shall designate a senior official at the level of Deputy Director or above
  • That official is personally responsible for compliance
  • The official must certify under penalty of perjury that all responsive records have been identified and produced
  • False certification constitutes perjury under 18 U.S.C. Section 1621
  • This puts a named, senior individual on the line -- not a faceless bureaucracy
  • No official can hide behind subordinates or claim ignorance

Slide 15: Comprehensive Search Requirement

Section 2(d): No Stone Unturned

  • Each covered agency must conduct a comprehensive search of:
    • All file systems
    • All databases
    • All email archives
    • All internal communication platforms
    • All storage media
  • A declaration describing the scope and methodology of the search must be submitted to Congress
  • This prevents agencies from conducting a cursory search and claiming compliance
  • The search methodology itself becomes a public record subject to scrutiny

Slide 16: Compulsory Process for Private Entities

Section 2(e): Private Companies Cannot Hide Records Either

  • Within 15 days of enactment, each covered agency shall issue subpoenas or compulsory process for all Schedule A records held by private entities
  • Specifically named private entities include: TPUSA, Mosaic Pro Events, rental car companies, hotels, Accurate Energetic Systems (AES), banks, telecommunications providers
  • The review board has independent subpoena power over private entities
  • Any private entity that destroys, alters, or conceals records faces the same criminal penalties as government agencies
  • Private entities cannot claim they are not bound by a federal disclosure law -- the compulsory process applies to them

Slide 17: Broad + Specific Mandates Apply Concurrently

Section 3(c): Belt and Suspenders

  • The enumeration of specific items in Schedule A does NOT limit the broad disclosure mandate in Section 2
  • Both the broad mandate AND the specific enumeration apply concurrently
  • This is a critical anti-evasion provision
  • An agency cannot say: "You only asked for the 208 items, and we produced those"
  • An agency also cannot say: "You asked for everything, so we don't need to address the specific 208 items"
  • Both requirements are independently enforceable

Slide 18: 208 Critical Disclosure Items - Overview

Schedule A: The Heart of the Law

  • 208 individually mandated disclosure items organized across 30+ categories
  • Each item is independently enforceable -- partial compliance does not constitute compliance
  • Items cover: aircraft records, foreign threats, FBI files, cell phone data, ballistics, autopsy, financial records, surveillance footage, and more
  • The "Intelligence" side of the FBI is also required to disclose on anything related to the case
  • "People Listed" (Schedule B) defines 35 categories of persons on whom information must be disclosed
  • Schedule A is maintained in the public GitHub repository and incorporated by reference into the law

  • Hampton meeting (August 3-6, 2025) with intelligence personnel present

Slide 21: FBI Files (#57-#66)

The FBI's Own Records Must Be Disclosed

  • All FBI Form 302 interview reports from inception to present -- covering interviews of 20+ people
  • 302s documenting FBI requests to delete evidence -- identification of agents who asked witnesses to delete video
  • Counterintelligence Division reports on foreign intelligence investigation
  • Agent notes, memoranda, rough notes, and working papers -- not just formal reports
  • Case opening documentation -- the investigative plan and scope documents
  • FBI counterintelligence reports on foreign intelligence services in Utah (January 2023 to present)
  • FBI threat assessments for Charlie Kirk regarding foreign targeting
  • FBI liaison reports with CIA, NSA, and DHS
  • FBI surveillance logs tracking suspected foreign intelligence officers in Utah
  • All FISA applications and materials related to foreign nationals connected to the case

Slide 22: Key Evidence Items - Highlights

The Most Critical Disclosures

  • Cell tower dumps for UVU campus, Tyler Robinson's residence, and Provo Airport
  • Complete chain of custody for the Mauser Model 98 rifle -- how it got to campus and when
  • All body camera footage from initial search, K-9 search, and re-search
  • Complete autopsy report with wound measurements, trajectories, photographs
  • All surveillance footage from UVU, airports, hotels, traffic cameras
  • Financial records -- international wire transfers, SARs, payments to Robinson and Twiggs
  • All ballistics analysis -- caliber determination, wound characteristics, bullet path
  • Witness intimidation records -- fake therapy sessions, FBI pressure on witnesses

Slide 23: #1 Aircraft Records for Listed Planes

16+ Aircraft Connected to the Assassination

  • Egyptian aircraft: SU-BTT, SU-BND, SU-BTU, SU-BTV, SU-BGM
  • HADES spy plane: N1098L -- circled UVU 35 minutes before the shooting
  • Surveillance aircraft: N59906 (MARC Inc. Piper), N888KG, N560TW, N40JD, N872RA, N102DZ, N55906
  • U.S. Air Force VIP transport: 99-0404 (SAM callsign)
  • Egyptian military: T7ELL, EJM36
  • Required disclosures: location, passengers, crew, cargo for all aircraft within 2 weeks before and on the day of the assassination
  • Any connection to anyone in the investigation must be disclosed
  • Why were Egyptian military planes and U.S. surveillance aircraft converging on Provo before the assassination?

Slide 24: #2 Foreign Threats Against Charlie Kirk

Did Foreign Governments Want Kirk Dead?

  • All information from FBI, DOJ, or any U.S. intelligence agency regarding threats, plans, or actions by any foreign intelligence service or country toward assassination of Charlie Kirk
  • Includes consideration of such actions -- not just completed plans
  • Includes hiring contractors to carry out threats
  • All information on any foreign government or entity that discussed, planned, or considered harm to Charlie Kirk in any capacity
  • This item is deliberately broad -- it covers not just direct threats but any foreign government discussion of eliminating Kirk
  • Kirk himself texted: "THEY ARE GOING TO KILL ME"

Slide 25: #5 Tyler Robinson Clothing & Biometric Evidence

Is the Person on Camera Actually Tyler Robinson?

  • FBI must disclose analysis of whether the person in the stairways of the Losee Center is the same individual as Tyler Robinson
  • Comparison metrics: height, build, gait, clothing, face comparison
  • Biometric analysis of FBI-released surveillance images -- angular jaw definition, skin texture, build proportions
  • Whether the analysis is consistent with Robinson's stated age or suggests the individual is aged 20-24 or another range
  • All discrepancies between witness descriptions, surveillance footage, and official identification
  • The key question: Was the person on camera actually Tyler Robinson, or someone else?

Slide 26: #11 Electronic Signal Jamming at UVU

Were Communications Deliberately Cut?

  • All information on whether electronic means were used to cut internet access (cell-based or otherwise) in the seconds before, during, and after the shooting
  • All information on any disruption, degradation, or interference with communications signals within 2 miles of UVU
  • Electronic jamming of cell and internet signals is a signature of intelligence operations, not lone-wolf attacks
  • If signals were jammed, this would strongly indicate a coordinated, professional operation
  • Signal jamming equipment is restricted -- only military and intelligence agencies typically possess it
  • This single disclosure item could fundamentally change the public understanding of the assassination

Slide 27: #14 Charlie Kirk Death Threat Communications

Kirk Knew He Was Going to Be Killed

  • All communications -- written or verbal -- by Charlie Kirk about feeling threatened, his life ending early, or thinking he would likely be killed
  • Who received these communications, when, and the exact content
  • FBI file interviews with named recipients
  • Kirk texted: "THEY ARE GOING TO KILL ME"
  • A donor at the Hamptons meeting asked: "What would happen to TPUSA if you DIED?" -- approximately 40 days before the assassination
  • Erika Kirk confirmed the Hamptons confrontation in an interview with Megyn Kelly
  • Kirk's own words are the strongest evidence of foreknowledge

Slide 28: #17 Bullet Trajectory and Caliber Analysis

The Physics Don't Add Up

  • All information about the bullet traveling through Charlie Kirk -- why it didn't exit
  • What path the bullet took through the body
  • Evidence suggesting it likely wasn't a .30-06 caliber or was another caliber entirely
  • Whether part of the microphone hit Kirk's neck
  • Complete bullet path analysis
  • Witness testimony described the shot sound as resembling a 9mm or "cherry bomb" -- not a deep rifle report
  • If the caliber doesn't match the Mauser Model 98, the entire official narrative collapses

Slide 29: #20 Distraction People at UVU

Multiple Persons of Interest Were Creating Distractions

  • "Fake Doctor w/Gun" -- PERSON_179_REDACTED
  • Pellet gun man at Joe Vera's Mexican Restaurant, Provo
  • George Zinn and others identified as possible distraction operatives
  • A person on video asking questions to Charlie Kirk who was also recorded practicing the same shocked facial expression beforehand, and who later appeared on CBS with Erika Kirk
  • All communications with any government or intelligence service
  • Whether any distraction person was offered or received money from any source
  • All financial payments they received
  • Were these coordinated operatives designed to draw police attention away from the real operation?

Slide 30: #26 Israeli Cellphones at UVU

12 Israeli-Registered Phones at the Shooting Site

  • All information from NSA, FBI, DOJ, or U.S. intelligence on approximately 12 Israeli-registered cellphones at UVU
  • Who these people were and their connections to intelligence services
  • Photos of them and what they did at UVU
  • How long they were in Utah
  • Whether they visited: the airport, Tyler's apartment, rental cars, or any listed aircraft
  • All information on Israeli nationals or Israeli-linked communications in the Provo/Orem area during August-September 2025
  • The presence of 12 Israeli phones at the assassination site demands explanation

Slide 31: #32 Alternative Shooter Location Analysis

Was There a Second Shooter?

  • All investigation data on whether a shot was fired from a drone, behind Kirk, to the side, or from any location other than the rooftop
  • Whether a second sniper was positioned on any rooftop at or near UVU
  • All rooftop access logs, surveillance footage, and law enforcement sweeps
  • Whether the person on the roof was running at the moment the shot was fired
  • Total number of shots fired from all locations and direction of each
  • Evidence supporting or refuting a coordinated cell operation with multiple actors -- shooter, spotter, exfiltration handler
  • FBI's own admission of possible multiple accomplices

Slide 32: #47-#48 FBI Video Deletion & Remote Deletion

The FBI Asked Witnesses to Destroy Evidence

  • #47: All information on FBI employees calling witnesses and asking them to delete video
  • List of FBI employees who did this, the witnesses contacted, the dates, and number of calls
  • #48: All information on witnesses who reported videos were deleted from their phones without their permission
  • How the deletions occurred, who performed them, what tools were used
  • All details of each occurrence of remote deletion
  • This is evidence of obstruction of justice by the very agency charged with investigating the crime
  • If the FBI deleted evidence, the question is: What were they hiding?

Slide 33: #50 Hampton Meeting Intelligence Presence

The Meeting Where Kirk Was Confronted

  • All information on any military or intelligence personnel present at the August 3-6, 2025 Hampton meeting
  • Names and who they worked for
  • Kirk was confronted by pro-Israel figures at this meeting
  • A donor asked: "What would happen to TPUSA if you DIED?"
  • All information on intelligence service involvement with, monitoring of, or interest in any TPUSA donor or leadership meeting during 2025
  • This meeting occurred approximately 40 days before the assassination
  • Were intelligence services monitoring -- or orchestrating -- the pressure campaign against Kirk?

Slide 34: #54 All-Black Suspect at UVU Construction

An Unidentified Suspect the FBI Ignores

  • Eyewitness description: man in all black -- trench coat, cargo pants, black mask, sunglasses, long greasy black hair, small backpack
  • Walked through a UVU construction site immediately after the shooting
  • Spoke with an excavator operator and admitted someone had been shot before sirens started
  • Tracked by K-9 units
  • Photo shown by sheriffs did not match the FBI's publicly released image
  • All information on any unidentified suspect at UVU who does not match Tyler Robinson's description
  • Who is this person, and why hasn't the FBI publicly identified him?

Slide 35: #105 Mauser Rifle Chain of Custody

How Did the Weapon Get to Campus?

  • Complete chain of custody for the Mauser Model 98 rifle with all timestamps
  • How the rifle entered the UVU campus -- complete path from last known prior location
  • How it was transported, by whom, through which entry points, and at what times
  • How the rifle left the campus after the shooting or discovery
  • Which agency took possession and how it was transported
  • Critical sequence: Initial arm-to-arm search found nothing. K-9 search found nothing. Then three federal agents directed a re-search, and the weapon was "found"
  • The chain of custody is the key to determining whether the weapon was planted

Slide 36: #177 Tyler Robinson Family Statements

Robinson's Family Says He Didn't Do It

  • All family statements asserting Tyler Robinson did not commit the assassination
  • Robinson reportedly stated he "didn't do it but knows who did but won't say because it would endanger the family"
  • All records regarding the rapid family cooperation in turning Tyler in
  • Whether his roommate was placed under protection
  • All confessions made by Tyler Robinson
  • Early FBI/ATF bulletins on "trans ideology bullets" that were subsequently retracted -- who authored them, who retracted them, and why
  • Whether a Mormon preacher and retired sheriff turned him in rather than his parents
  • Family claims at the January 16th hearing

Slide 37: #191-#192 Butch Hibbs & Exploding Microphone

The Most Explosive Theory

  • #191: All records on Butch Hibbs (brother of Calvary Chapel pastor Jack Hibbs) at UVU
  • Square object in his front right pocket matching dimensions of a Rode Wireless GO II receiver (approx. 2x2 inches)
  • His proximity to the sound crew
  • Photos showing his pocket empty after Kirk was killed
  • #192: Private aircraft flight from Heber City, Utah to Nashville, Tennessee on August 25, 2025
  • Same day AES delivered "MINIATURIZED-XS DEMOLITION CHARGES, ANTI PERSONNEL-XS" under DoD contract N0016425PJ538
  • Connection between Butch Hibbs, the flight, and the DoD contract
  • Was the microphone weaponized?

Slide 38: #200 Bullet Engravings & Planted Evidence

Evidence That Screams "Manufactured"

  • Full forensic analysis of engraved cartridge casings
  • Tools used for engraving and timeline of when engravings were made (before or after firing)
  • Whether engravings are consistent with Tyler Robinson's handwriting and known tools
  • Whether engravings appear staged or planted
  • The inscriptions: "Notices Bulge OWO what's this?", "hey fascist! CATCH!", "O Bella ciao, Bella ciao", "If you read This, you are GAY Lmao"
  • These inscriptions are inconsistent with a serious assassination and suggest evidence manufacturing
  • Robinson's texts and engravings resemble an "internet meme salad" designed to pin blame on the "radical left"
  • All FBI investigation into whether the motive narrative was manufactured

Slide 39: Prohibited Grounds for Withholding

Section 4(a): What Agencies CANNOT Use as Excuses

  • Embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity -- not a valid excuse
  • Ongoing investigation -- not a valid excuse (except narrowly provided)
  • Executive privilege -- not a valid excuse
  • Deliberative process privilege -- not a valid excuse
  • Law enforcement privilege -- not a valid excuse
  • Claims that records were "lost," "destroyed," or "cannot be located" -- not valid without forensic verification
  • Every common excuse used by agencies to withhold records is explicitly prohibited
  • This is a direct response to decades of agency evasion tactics

Slide 40: Only 2 Permitted Redactions

Section 4(b): Extremely Narrow Exceptions

  • The ONLY permissible redactions from covered records are:
    1. Names of confidential human sources currently active in unrelated ongoing investigations where disclosure would create an imminent threat to life
    2. Child sexual abuse material as defined under 18 U.S.C. Section 2256
  • That's it. Two exceptions. Nothing else.
  • No national security blanket exemption
  • No classified information exemption
  • No ongoing investigation exemption
  • The default is full disclosure -- redaction is the rare exception

Slide 41: Redaction Requirements

Section 4(c)-(d): If You Redact, You Must Justify

  • All redactions must be individually justified in writing
  • All redactions must be published in the Federal Register -- public accountability
  • All redactions must be submitted to the Judiciary Committees of both chambers of Congress
  • All redactions are subject to judicial review upon challenge by any party
  • No blanket exemptions or classifications are permitted
  • Every single redaction can be challenged in court
  • The burden is on the agency to justify the redaction, not on the public to prove it should be disclosed

Slide 42: Automatic Declassification

Section 4(e): Classification Cannot Block Disclosure

  • All classification markings on covered records are automatically removed upon enactment
  • No covered record may be reclassified after enactment
  • If declassification review cannot be completed within 30 days:
    • Record is produced to the review board in classified form
    • A public redacted version is produced simultaneously
    • Full unclassified version produced within 60 days
  • Classification shall not excuse non-production
  • This directly prevents the CIA/NSA tactic of hiding everything behind "sources and methods"

Slide 43: Records Preservation - Triggered at Bill Introduction

Section 5(a): The Clock Starts Before the Law Passes

  • Upon introduction of this bill (not enactment), all covered agencies shall immediately preserve all covered records
  • Written preservation orders must be issued to all personnel
  • This preservation duty is enforceable upon enactment
  • This is a critical innovation: agencies cannot destroy records during the legislative process
  • Once the bill is introduced, the preservation clock starts
  • If the bill passes weeks or months later, destruction during the interim period is retroactively criminal

Slide 44: 15-Year Penalty for Destruction

Section 5(b): Destroy Records, Go to Prison

  • Any person who destroyed, altered, concealed, or removed any covered record after the bill was introduced is subject to criminal prosecution and imprisonment of up to 15 years
  • Destruction creates an adverse inference -- courts will presume the destroyed records contained information favorable to disclosure
  • Existing federal law (18 U.S.C. 1519 -- obstruction by destruction) applies independently to pre-enactment destruction
  • Agencies must provide a complete accounting of all destroyed records: what, when, by whom, and under whose authorization
  • 15 years is the strongest penalty in any disclosure law ever proposed

Slide 45: Forensic Audit Requirement

Section 5(c): Prove You Didn't Delete Anything

  • Each covered agency must conduct a digital forensic audit of its document management systems
  • The audit must verify that no records have been deleted, altered, or moved after September 10, 2025
  • Audit results must be provided to Congress and the independent review board
  • This is not self-certification -- it's a forensic, technical audit
  • The audit will reveal any attempt to purge files after the assassination
  • If you deleted it, the forensic audit will find it

Slide 46: Who Can Disclose - Whistleblower Rights

Section 6(a): Anyone Can Come Forward

  • Any employee of a covered agency may voluntarily submit covered records or information to:
    • The designated disclosure body (review board)
    • Any Designated Trusted Investigator under Law 4
    • Directly to the public
  • Any employee of the United States government -- not just covered agencies -- may disclose
  • This is a broad invitation for anyone with knowledge to come forward
  • The law protects disclosures to Congress, the review board, trusted investigators, and the public directly

Slide 47: Protection from Retaliation

Section 6(b): Retaliation Is a Crime

  • It is unlawful for any supervisor, manager, agency head, or any other person to:
    • Retaliate against
    • Terminate
    • Demote
    • Reassign
    • Harass
    • Revoke security clearance of
    • Or in any way persecute any government employee for disclosing under this Act
  • This covers every form of retaliation -- including the common tactic of revoking clearances to effectively fire someone
  • The protection is absolute and comprehensive

Slide 48: Rebuttable Presumption Within 2 Years

Section 6(c): The Burden Shifts to the Agency

  • Any adverse personnel action taken against a disclosing employee within 2 years of disclosure creates a rebuttable presumption of retaliation
  • The agency must prove the action was NOT retaliatory
  • The employee does not have to prove retaliation -- the agency has to prove it wasn't
  • This is a powerful shift in the burden of proof
  • Without this presumption, agencies can fire whistleblowers and claim it was for "unrelated performance issues"
  • The 2-year window provides meaningful long-term protection

Slide 49: NDA Override

Section 6(e): No Contract Can Silence You

  • No non-disclosure agreement, confidentiality agreement, secrecy agreement, or similar provision shall be enforceable to the extent it would prohibit any person from disclosing information related to the death of Charlie Kirk
  • Applies to agreements with government agencies AND private entities
  • Disclosures may be made to: the review board, Congress, Designated Trusted Investigators, law enforcement, or the public
  • This overrides existing NDAs -- retroactively and prospectively
  • Private contractors who signed NDAs with TPUSA, AES, or government agencies are free to talk

Slide 50: Private Sector Whistleblower Protections

Section 6(f): Protection Beyond Government

  • Whistleblower protections extend to any private sector employee, contractor, or agent
  • No employer may terminate, demote, harass, or otherwise retaliate
  • Modeled on 18 U.S.C. 1514A (Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower provisions)
  • Construed broadly to protect all persons who provide information
  • Violations carry: criminal penalties up to 5 years imprisonment, civil liability, mandatory reinstatement, and treble damages for willful violations
  • This covers TPUSA employees, AES employees, hotel staff, rental car workers, airport employees -- anyone who has information

Slide 51: 10 Years for Willful Withholding

Section 7(a): Officials Who Hide Records Go to Prison

  • Any official who willfully withholds, destroys, conceals, or fails to produce covered records is subject to:
    • Criminal prosecution
    • Imprisonment of up to 10 years
  • This is not an administrative penalty or a fine -- it is prison time
  • The word "willfully" establishes a mens rea requirement -- but certifying under perjury that all records were produced, when they weren't, establishes willfulness
  • No prior disclosure law has imposed criminal penalties of this magnitude
  • This changes the calculation for every bureaucrat considering whether to comply

Slide 52: 15 Years for Record Destruction

Section 5(b) + 7: The Harshest Penalty

  • Destruction of covered records after bill introduction: up to 15 years imprisonment
  • This is deliberately harsher than withholding (10 years) because destruction is irreversible
  • Destruction creates an adverse inference in all proceedings
  • Agencies must account for all destroyed records: what, when, by whom, and under whose authorization
  • The crime scene at UVU was paved over -- this penalty exists to ensure no more evidence is destroyed
  • The AES factory explosion killed 16 employees and may have destroyed evidence -- this law demands a full accounting

Slide 53: Budget Reductions - 10% Per Month

Section 7(b): Hit Them Where It Hurts

  • Non-compliant agencies face automatic budget reductions:
    • 10% per month of non-compliance
    • Up to a maximum cumulative reduction of 50%
  • Reductions apply to discretionary law enforcement funding
  • Funds specifically appropriated for compliance with this Act are exempt from reductions
  • Reductions apply prospectively to new discretionary appropriations
  • This creates an escalating financial incentive to comply -- each month of delay costs the agency more
  • 50% budget reduction is an existential threat to any agency

Slide 54: Perjury Prosecution

Section 7(c): Lying to Congress Has Consequences

  • Certification under penalty of perjury that all records have been produced -- when records are later found to have been withheld -- constitutes perjury
  • Prosecutable under 18 U.S.C. Section 1621
  • The senior official (Deputy Director or above) who signs the certification is personally liable
  • This is not theoretical -- officials must sign a specific statement under oath
  • If any records surface later, the certifying official faces criminal prosecution
  • Combined with the forensic audit requirement, this makes false certification extremely risky

Slide 55: AG Conflict of Interest / Special Master

Section 7(d)-(e): When the DOJ Itself Is Implicated

  • AG failure to comply is grounds for contempt of Congress
  • Congress may proceed through civil contempt in federal court, bypassing the U.S. Attorney for DC
  • Either chamber may retain independent counsel to prosecute contempt
  • If DOJ personnel are implicated in the investigation (evidence destruction, witness intimidation, obstruction):
    • Compliance authority transfers to a court-appointed Special Master
    • AG must recuse from compliance decisions
    • The review board -- not the AG -- certifies completeness
  • This solves the fundamental problem: who watches the watchmen?

Slide 56: 5-Citizen Independent Review Board

Section 8(a): The Oversight Body

  • 5 members appointed within 30 days of enactment
  • Members must have expertise in: law, forensic investigation, intelligence oversight, or government accountability
  • 4-year terms, removable only for cause
  • 3 members required for quorum
  • May not have been employed by any covered agency within the preceding 10 years
  • Functions: advisory, investigatory, and reporting
  • The President has no role in appointing, confirming, or removing board members
  • This board is completely independent of the executive branch

Slide 57: Appointment Process

Section 8(a): Congressional Control

  • 2 members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives
  • 2 members appointed by the Senate Majority Leader
  • 1 member appointed by the Senate Minority Leader
  • The President has no role in appointments, confirmation, or removal
  • This ensures bipartisan representation while preventing executive branch capture
  • The minority party gets a guaranteed seat at the table
  • Members serve for the duration of the review process -- not at the pleasure of any politician

Slide 58: Board Powers - Access, Subpoena, Direct Agencies

Section 8(b): Real Authority

  • Full access to agency systems and files to verify compliance
  • Authority to compel production of additional records
  • Subpoena power -- including over private entities holding Schedule A records
  • Monthly reports to Congress on compliance status
  • Public reports on findings
  • Authority to direct covered agencies to pursue specific investigative leads or records production that the board determines have been neglected
  • This is not an advisory committee -- it has teeth
  • The board can force agencies to investigate specific leads they have been ignoring

Slide 59: Special Master Provision

Section 8(e): Court-Appointed Enforcement

  • Upon a finding of non-compliance, any federal district court may appoint a Special Master with authority to:
    1. Access agency systems, databases, and physical storage facilities
    2. Compel production of specific records
    3. Report directly to the court and the review board
    4. Be funded by the non-compliant agency's budget
  • The review board may petition for appointment without demonstrating individual standing
  • The Special Master is funded by the agency that failed to comply -- creating a direct financial penalty
  • This is the enforcement mechanism the Epstein Act lacked

Slide 60: Permanent Until Compliance

Section 8(c): No Sunset, No Expiration

  • The review board shall be permanent
  • It shall continue to operate until it certifies that full compliance has been achieved
  • There is no sunset provision, no expiration date, no time limit
  • As long as agencies are withholding records, the board continues to operate
  • This prevents the common government tactic of waiting out oversight bodies
  • The JFK Records Act review board was allowed to expire before achieving full disclosure
  • This board does not expire until the job is done

Slide 61: Any Citizen Can Sue

Section 9(a): Private Right of Action

  • Any citizen of the United States may bring an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
  • Requirements before filing:
    1. 60 days' written notice to the non-compliant agency and AG specifying the alleged non-compliance
    2. The 30-day disclosure deadline has passed
    3. The non-compliance has not been fully remedied during the notice period
  • The injury is the denial of the statutory right to receive covered records
  • This means any American can go to court to enforce this law
  • The government cannot hide behind claims that citizens lack standing

Slide 62: Presumption of Disclosure

Section 9(c)-(d): Courts Side with Transparency

  • Courts shall apply a presumption in favor of disclosure in any proceeding under this Act
  • The burden is on the agency to justify withholding -- not on the citizen to prove a right to see records
  • Prevailing plaintiffs are entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs
  • Courts may dismiss claims that are frivolous or filed in bad faith -- with sanctions under Rule 11
  • This combination means: if you have a legitimate complaint, you will be heard; if the agency is withholding, the court will side with you; and the government pays your legal bills if you win

Slide 63: Attorney's Fees - The Government Pays

Section 9(b): Leveling the Playing Field

  • Prevailing plaintiffs shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs
  • This removes the financial barrier to enforcement
  • Without fee-shifting, only wealthy citizens or organizations could afford to sue the DOJ
  • With fee-shifting, any citizen can retain an attorney and pursue enforcement
  • The agency pays if it loses -- creating a financial incentive for the government to comply voluntarily
  • This provision has been proven effective in FOIA litigation and civil rights cases

Slide 64: President Cannot Withhold Records

Section 11(a)-(b): No Presidential Override

  • Congress finds that the compelling public interest in disclosure overcomes any claim of executive privilege
  • The President may not unilaterally delay disclosure beyond the statutory deadline
  • Any assertion of executive privilege must be:
    • Submitted to the independent review board
    • Reviewed by a federal court within 14 days
  • There shall be a presumption against privilege
  • This is the single most important structural improvement over prior disclosure laws
  • The JFK Act failed precisely because Presidents kept overriding it for 30+ years

Slide 65: No Executive Order Can Override

Section 11(d): Congressional Supremacy

  • No executive order, presidential memorandum, or other presidential directive may suspend or override the requirements of this Act
  • Any presidential delay shall not exceed 30 days beyond the statutory deadline without court approval
  • This provision is unambiguous and comprehensive
  • It covers every form of presidential action: executive orders, memoranda, directives, proclamations
  • The President's only option is to sign the bill or veto it -- once signed, the President cannot undermine it
  • This is what "no override" means: no means no

Slide 66: Clear and Convincing Evidence Standard

Section 11(c): The Highest Civil Standard

  • The burden of proof on any executive privilege claim is clear and convincing evidence
  • The asserting party must demonstrate that disclosure would cause grave and imminent harm to an identified national security interest
  • That harm must outweigh the public interest in disclosure
  • This is the highest standard in civil law -- just below "beyond reasonable doubt"
  • "Grave and imminent" means the harm must be both severe AND immediate -- not speculative or distant
  • In practice, this standard makes it nearly impossible to sustain a privilege claim

Slide 67: Cannot Classify Info Involving Foreign/Intel/Military

Section 4(e): Classification Is Not a Shield

  • All classification markings on covered records are automatically removed upon enactment
  • No covered record may be reclassified after enactment
  • Classification cannot be used as a basis for non-production
  • If declassification cannot be completed in 30 days, the record goes to the review board in classified form AND a public redacted version is released simultaneously
  • The full unclassified version must be released within 60 days
  • This is essential because the most damning evidence -- foreign intelligence involvement, military operations, surveillance -- is precisely the kind of information agencies classify

Slide 68: Existing Classifications Void Upon Enactment

Section 4(e): Automatic Declassification

  • This provision is retroactive -- existing classifications are voided, not merely reviewed
  • Agencies cannot use the classification review process to delay indefinitely
  • Even if a document was classified TOP SECRET/SCI, it is automatically declassified upon enactment
  • This prevents the intelligence community's standard playbook: classify everything, then claim declassification takes years
  • The 30-day window applies to the administrative process of declassification -- not to the obligation to disclose
  • If it's related to the Charlie Kirk investigation, it comes out. Period.

Slide 69: Federal Funding Suspension for Non-Compliant States

Section 12(a): State and Local Agencies Must Comply

  • Any state or local agency that has received federal law enforcement funding and possesses covered records must produce them within 30 days
  • Non-compliance results in suspension of up to 10% of annual federal law enforcement grants
  • Specifically targeted grants: Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants (Byrne JAG) and Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grants
  • The Attorney General must notify all state and local agencies of their obligations within 7 days of enactment
  • This ensures Utah County, Orem PD, UVU campus police, and any other local agency cannot withhold records

Slide 70: Notice and Cure Period for State/Local Agencies

Section 12(b)-(c): Fair but Firm

  • Before any grant suspension takes effect, the non-compliant agency receives 30 days' written notice identifying the specific non-compliance
  • A 30-day cure period is then afforded to produce the covered records
  • This means state and local agencies get: 30 days to comply initially + 30 days notice + 30 days cure = 90 days total before funding is at risk
  • This is generous compared to the 30-day federal deadline
  • But once the cure period expires, the funding suspension is automatic
  • No discretion, no negotiation -- produce the records or lose the funding

Slide 71: $10 Million Annually for the Review Board

Section 13(a): Funded for Success

  • $10,000,000 annually authorized for the independent review board
  • Covers: staff, forensic auditors, legal counsel, and administrative costs
  • This is not a token appropriation -- it funds a serious, professional oversight operation
  • Forensic auditors can verify agency compliance at a technical level
  • Legal counsel can pursue enforcement actions
  • The review board will have the resources to do its job -- unlike the Epstein Act, which had no enforcement mechanism at all

Slide 72: Funding Available Immediately

Section 13(b)-(c): No Delay

  • Such sums as may be necessary for covered agencies to comply are also authorized
  • Funds appropriated under this section are available immediately upon enactment
  • Funds remain available until expended -- no fiscal year expiration
  • Agencies cannot claim they lack resources to comply
  • The review board can begin operations immediately, not after a lengthy appropriations process
  • This eliminates the "we need more funding to search our records" excuse

Slide 73: Severability Clause

Section 14: If One Part Falls, the Rest Stands

  • If any provision of this Act is held invalid by a court, the remainder of the Act is not affected
  • The application of any invalidated provision to other persons or circumstances is also preserved
  • This is a standard severability clause -- but critical for a law this comprehensive
  • If a court strikes down the NDA override, the criminal penalties still apply
  • If a court limits the private right of action, the review board still operates
  • No single court ruling can bring down the entire law

Slide 78: Cross-References to Laws 2, 3, and 4

A Four-Law System Working Together

  • Law 2: Intelligence Services Disclosure Act -- Forces CIA, NSA, DIA, NRO, NGA, and all intelligence agencies to disclose. Covers what Law 1 cannot reach inside the classified intelligence world. Permits redaction only of active human source identities and specific technical collection methods.
  • Law 3: Mandatory Investigation Act -- Goes beyond disclosure to require the FBI to actually conduct a thorough investigation. Mandates a dedicated team of 20+ agents with $10 million budget. Requires investigation of every Schedule A item.
  • Law 4: Trusted Investigators Act -- Establishes independent investigation teams led by Candace Owens, Dave Smith, and Tucker Carlson. Six teams total with full access to all agency files. Government employees may volunteer confidentially.
  • Shared definitions and Schedule A ensure consistency across all four laws

Slide 79: How This Law Prevents Prior Failures
