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.”*

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.

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…
