Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, head of a new declassification task force, asserts that Americans deserve answers.
A “black book” detailing contacts and alleged clients of deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein will be publicly released as part of a new declassification initiative, according to the task force head.
This Republican-led congressional task force will oversee the release of government documents related to various high-profile events, including the 9/11 attacks, the Covid-19 origins, UFOs, and the assassinations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
Epstein, a financier who associated with the wealthy and famous, introduced numerous young women, some underage, to his associates, flying them to his private Caribbean island on his “Lolita Express” jet.
Arrested in 2019, Epstein died in his Manhattan jail cell later that year, officially ruled a suicide. Despite his death, evidence in his case remains classified. Media reports suggest the FBI discovered potentially incriminating videos of his “guests” during searches of his New York residence and Caribbean island.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, head of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has pledged to release this information, along with other previously classified materials.
“The federal government has withheld information from Americans for decades,” Luna stated on Tuesday, adding that “it’s time to give Americans the answers they deserve.”
A GOP congresswoman and supporter of President Donald Trump, Luna has consistently advocated for government transparency. Elected to the House in 2022, the 35-year-old previously served six years in the military.
The task force was announced by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer, who stated it would “build on the Trump administration’s efforts to declassify records of national importance.” Shortly after his inauguration, Trump issued an executive order for the release of federal records related to the Kennedy and King assassinations.
Epstein’s known associates include former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew. Trump also knew Epstein since the 1980s and reportedly flew on his “Lolita Express” jet.
President Trump denies visiting Epstein’s island and claims to have severed ties with him in the 1990s, years before Epstein’s 2006 arrest for soliciting prostitution. Trump alluded to the potential release of Epstein’s files in a September 2024 interview on the Lex Fridman Podcast.
