Who?
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) — Chair, Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets
LISTEN: Laslo & Luna
Ask a Pol asks:
What’s this chatter about whistleblower David Grusch maybe having his NDA waived?
Key Luna:
“Well, the White House can give that if they come in, and I think he’s already talking with them directly,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “We want anyone who has information to be able to share that without facing retribution.”
And right now it has to be case by case?
“Yes. It’s not a blanket waiver, because then people can just make stuff up, right? But yeah, he’s definitely one of the ones that we’re considering,” Luna tells us. “And he’s also directly talking now with the White House.”
Ask a Pol’s on Venmo, PayPal, Cash App — or just buy the team a beer!
Caught our ear:
“Well, there’s a division that’s headed up by Stephen Miller that works with us and the Pentagon and AARO, so we’re all working together,” Luna said. “It doesn’t have a name per se, but I will show you the coin…”
You got a coin?
“It’s called SIG — Special Investigations Group,” Luna tells us. “That’s the division at the FBI that does investigations.”
Huh. And how much have you guys been talking with them?
“We work directly with them for our investigation, so we’ve had several briefings,” Luna says. “We’re over there, you know, open lines of communication. It’s extensive.”
“The rollouts have been largely because of those meetings,” Luna exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP.
Oh yeah?
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (9-1-2026)
SCENE: Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo walks with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and her aides from the US Capitol to her office across the street.
Matt Laslo: “What’s this chatter about [whistleblower David] Grusch maybe having his NDA waived?”
Anna Paulina Luna: “Well, the White House can give that if they come in, and I think he’s already talking with them directly.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Luna: “And so we want anyone who has information to be able to share that without facing retribution.”
Laslo: “And right now it has to be case by case?”
Luna: “Yeah. It’s not a blanket waiver, because then people can just make stuff up, right? But yeah, he’s definitely one of the ones that we’re considering.”
Laslo: “And…?”
Luna: “And he’s also directly talking now with the White House.”
Laslo: “Oh, interesting. Is that about where to look?”
Luna: “Say again?”
Laslo: “Is that like him telling the White House where to look?”
Luna: “Well, there’s a division that’s headed up by Stephen Miller that works with us and the Pentagon and AARO.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Luna: “So we’re all working together.”
Laslo: “What’s that division called?”
Luna: “Well, it’s, I guess your informal UAP task force that’s within the White House. So it doesn’t have a name per se. But I will show you the coin. Hold on.”
Laslo: “You have a coin?”
Luna: “No, I have — you’re actually going to be one of the first journalists to see it. I showed it to VICE earlier. It’s called SIG — Special Investigations Group. That’s the division at the FBI that does investigations.”
Laslo: “Huh. And how much have you guys been talking with them?”
Luna: “We work directly with them for our investigation, so we’ve had several briefings. We’re over there, you know, open lines of communication. It’s extensive.”
Laslo: “When does the public get let in? Because like AARO…”
Luna: “The rollouts have been largely because of those meetings.”
Laslo: “Oh yeah?”
Luna: “But specifically for the other stuff that’s going to be something that’s more or less framed around — I’m going to go outside this side one [door] — framed around if we can locate said materials, etc. I mean, this is — we’re… People are saying that they know, so we’re, you know, we’re following up on it.”
Laslo: “And is the FBI kind of talking to the Pentagon?”
Luna: “We’re all in this together — we’re all working together.”
Laslo: “Interesting.”
Luna: “Yeah.”
Laslo: “Do you think we’ll have another hearing after the election or start of next year or…?”
Luna: “Well, the [Secrets] Task Force is not permanent, but it does help having people at the White House that are actually assisting. There’s also potentially a joint effort that’s going to take place specifically on investigating this stuff between two countries, but that’s going to be further discussed later on down the line.”
Laslo: “Interesting.”
Luna: “So, thank you.”
What should we ask Congress next?
