US Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) walked into the Department of Justice to review Epstein files and walked out with a document most Americans were never supposed to see.
She's been pushing harder than anyone in Congress to pull back the curtain on Jeffrey Epstein – and what she found cuts through fifteen years of stonewalling in a single document.
Now she's naming what it is and where it points.
An Austrian Passport, a Fake Name and a Safe Full of Diamonds
Luna sat down with the New York Times Friday and laid out what she discovered in an unredacted Justice Department file.
Epstein had an alias.
"I discovered a document in going through some of the records unredacted over at the D.O.J., and he did have an alias," Luna said. "It was a passport, and his address was located, I think, in Saudi Arabia."
She said she believed the document was an Austrian passport – issued under the name "Marius Robert Fortelni" – found in Epstein's personal safe alongside $70,000 in cash and 48 loose diamonds.
The passport was issued in 1982. Inside: entry stamps for France, Spain, and England, plus a Saudi Arabian consulate visa out of Vienna.
Most people don't have a fraudulent passport locked in a safe with cash and diamonds.
Luna did not hedge. "That was my first kind of, all right, he definitely had intel connections," she said. "I think the guy dealt in intelligence and exchange of information."
The Honeypot Theory Comes From Congress, Not Fringe Blogs
This is not a conspiracy theory floated on a message board.
Luna chairs the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. She's reviewed classified materials the public hasn't seen. And she's been building this case piece by piece for over a year.
Back in February, she held a news conference and stated flatly – in her professional opinion – that Epstein was running a "honeypot operation" on behalf of intelligence agencies, using recorded encounters to gain leverage over powerful targets.
She's not alone.
The FBI's own internal records back her up. A 2020 bureau memo – drawn up by the Los Angeles field office and later included in the DOJ's public document release – documented a source who told investigators Epstein was a foreign intelligence operative who had undergone actual spy training.
And Epstein's own setup matches the playbook: hidden cameras throughout his properties, a global network of the world's most powerful men, and a safe stocked with the kind of emergency kit a spy – not a financier – carries when things go sideways.
The Cover-Up Was Said Out Loud and Washington Moved On
Here's what ought to make every conservative's blood boil.
Former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta – the man who handed Epstein one of the most outrageous sweetheart plea deals in American legal history – later told Trump transition officials he had been warned that Epstein "belonged to intelligence" and to leave it alone.
That's the whole cover-up in one sentence.
If Epstein belonged to intelligence, that means powerful people in Washington knew what he was doing. They knew. And they protected him anyway – from prosecutors, from the press, and from the victims who deserved justice.
The Democrat Party's leadership spent years treating this as a closed matter. The DOJ files say otherwise.
Luna has pushed the DOJ to release more materials, grilled Kash Patel over delays, and now gone on the record in the New York Times naming the specific document that proves Epstein was more than a predator.
An unredacted file. A fake Austrian passport. A Saudi Arabia address. $70,000 in cash and 48 diamonds locked in a safe.
That's not a wealthy pervert covering his tracks. That's a spy getting ready to run.
