Who?
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) — Chair, Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets
LISTEN: Laslo & Luna
Ask a Pol asks:
What do you make of former AARO Director Tim Phillips alleging US House Speaker Mike Johnson and Oversight Chair James Comer denied — “they felt they did not have a need to know” — the Congressional UAP Caucus access to SAPs?
Key Luna:
“We actually just asked people about that,” US House Secrets Task Force Chair Anna Paulina Luna exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “They both denied it.”*
*STAY TUNED: New Ask a Pol exclusive w/ Oversight Chair James Comer dropping this week…
Caught our ear:
“But I also, too, don't really like AARO’s response on it, so I've told people* that I think AARO needs to have their funds redirected,” Luna tells us.

Below find two rough transcripts of Ask a Pol’s interviews with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Chair Anna Paulina Luna (6-24-2025)
SCENE: After voting on the House floor, Secrets Task Force Chair Anna Paulina Luna is heading down the Capitol steps talking to a reporter.
Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo waits in the wings and catches up to her once she’s at ground level, traversing a sea of lawmakers’ — and their aides’ — cars, which make the Capitol grounds feel like a sports arena after a match ended every time the House wraps a vote series.
They chat for a minute before Chair Luna ditches Ask a Pol for a Fox News crew…
Matt Laslo: “Hey, how are you congresswoman?”
Anna Paulina Luna: “Hey.”
ML: “What do you…”
Luna’s on her phone messaging an aide…
APL: “Still looking for my car.”
…it’s a drippingly humid summer day in the swamp.
ML: “It’s hot.”
APL: “It’s a beautiful — oh, there it is.”
ML: “What do you make of this report from Tim Phillips that you guys weren't allowed to see the SAPs in a SCIF because of GOP leadership?”
APL: “Oh, we actually just asked people about that, so…”
They traverse reporters and lawmakers.
APL: “…they both denied it, the people that we asked about it, so…”
ML: “Yeah? So you're not…?”
APL: “But I also, too, don't really like AARO’s response on it, so I've told people that I think AARO needs to have their funds redirected.”
“Makes us reconsider AARO," Secrets Chair Luna says after FBI UAP briefing

Fox Crew Cut: “Hi.”
APL: “Hey, how are ya?”
FCC: “Quick question — Fox News…”
Bleach blonde J Crew bro smiles to himself (or so he thought…), half surprised, as his cameraperson instantly sets up.
cc: “…I wanted to ask you about…”*
Laslo proceeds to interview a half dozen lawmakers.**
*ROOKIE LEAGUE BULLSH*T: Never broadcast to your subject you’re about to ask a question — be human and just ask what’s on your mind. - Prof. Laslo
