Who?

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) — Chair, Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets

LISTEN: Laslo & Luna

Ask a Pol asks:

Now that Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) has hired UFO whistleblower David Grusch on staff, are you still trying to get him into a SCIF with Lue Elizondo and AARO (aka, the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office)?

Key Luna:

“Yes. We got that confirmed for some time in April,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “And Christopher Mellon!”

Caught our ear:

“We're working all avenues,” Luna tells us.

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna

SCENE: After voting on the House floor, Rep. Luna was surrounded by a swarm of congressional reporters who are covering her spat with Speaker Mike Johnson over whether to allow new mothers — as she was last year — to vote by proxy from their districts.

Once Luna finishes her impromptu scrum on the steps of the US Capitol, Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo slides in and gets a quick update from the congresswomen before she hops in an awaiting car.

Matt Laslo: “Hey, how are you, ma’am?”

Anna Paulina Luna: “Hey.”

ML: “I was curious what you make of the hiring of David Grusch? Do you think that’s gonna change things?”

APL: “I think he's great!”

What should we ask next? Let us know, fam!

ML: “Yeah?”

APL: “I think he — Burlison is, obviously he's on team with him, so I think that that's going to be solid.”

ML: “Do you know if he gets his security clearance back?”

APL: “Grusch is working — that would be a Burlison question, but we're working all avenues.”

Another reporter cuts in…

ML: “And are you still trying to get him into the SCIF with Lue Elizondo and AARO?”

APL: “Yes. We got that confirmed for some time in April.”

ML: “Some time in April? Cool. Preciate ya.”

Luna starts entering awaiting car.

APL: “And Christopher Mellon!”

ML: “And Mellon?”

Luna nods.

ML: “Thank you!”
