🎯IMPACT: Luna’s comments will renew scrutiny of Epstein’s alleged ties to intelligence agencies and demands for transparency in the investigation into his activities and death.
U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who leads the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has suggested a link between deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and intelligence agencies. Her comments followed a private Capitol Hill meeting with Epstein’s victims.
On Thursday, Luna posted on X, “In my opinion, there is definitely an intelligence connection. Countries named by the lead attorney for the witnesses [Epstein’s victims] included Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Israel, as well as a former CIA director,” with the last of these “inferred to be the CIA director under the Bush administration, based on the attorney’s description of interactions while Epstein was in his work/arrest program.” Michael Hayden was the CIA Director when Epstein’s plea deal was finalized in June 2008 and during the early part of his sentence.
Luna stressed that the Task Force’s ultimate goal is criminal referrals, revealing that “thousands” of Department of Justice (DOJ) e-mails are currently under review. She also highlighted the ongoing impact of the Epstein scandal on victims, saying it is “important to understand how frightening this is for some of the women involved. In some cases, they were threatened.” Finally, she emphasized that “both the victims and others have stated to the press that President Trump was not involved.”
Epstein, known for his connections to powerful and wealthy figures such as the Clintons, has long faced accusations of ties to domestic and foreign intelligence agencies.
