Luna urges DOJ to authorize release of more info on Epstein
'The American people deserve to know truth ref. Epstein, regardless of who it impacts,' the Florida Republican said Tuesday in a post on the social media platform X.
The Justice Department on Monday released a memo concluding the financier accused of sex trafficking died by suicide and that there was no 'client list' Epstein kept to blackmail powerful figures implicated in his crimes.
Those revelations contradict conspiracy theories pushed by several right-wing media personalities and internet influencers, many of whom fumed Monday over the memo and alleged a cover-up was taking place.
The Trump administration has pushed back on those claims and has stressed its commitment to truth and transparency.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday that the memo is the result of an 'exhaustive review of all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and his death.'
She noted there was some material that DOJ 'did not release because, frankly, it was incredibly graphic and it contained child pornography, which is not something that's appropriate for public consumption.'
Luna pushed back on the idea that the only information withheld from the public was child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
'There is plenty of evidence and info not pertaining to CSAM/victims that DOJ leadership can authorize the @FBIDirectorKash and @FBIDDBongino to release,' Luna said, referring to FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
'The @FBI cannot release anything without @TheJusticeDept authorization,' she continued. 'The Taskforce and all of its members will be asking for that on behalf of the American people.'
'The American people should be free to come to their own conclusions. The Truth will always come out one way or another,' Luna added.
The Hill has reached out to DOJ for comment.

Rep. Ilhan Omar's activist daughter unemployed, selling used clothes 15 months after arrest at Columbia anti-Israel protest
Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-Minn.) daughter revealed Tuesday that she's unemployed after graduating from Barnard College — the elite school that suspended her last year after her arrest at a Columbia University anti-Israel protest. 'Unemployment got me,' Isra Hirsi captioned an Instagram Story selfie. The 22-year-old jobless activist is apparently getting by peddling some of her old clothes to her more than 82,000 followers on the social media platform. Advertisement 'I am now selling on [Depop]!! Check out if u wish,' Hirsi wrote, including a link to her page on the clothing resale app. 3 Hirsi revealed she's still unemployed following her graduation from Barnard in May. Instagram Multiple skirts, a pair of Dr. Martens boots and Hirsi's 'beloved multicolored striped cardigan' are among the items the keffiyeh-wearing college grad is looking to unload on the marketplace. Advertisement Hirsi was one of more than 100 anti-Israel protesters who were hauled away in cuffs by the NYPD last April after erecting a tent city on Columbia University's Morningside Campus. The self-described 'hyper-woke' member of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) group was suspended from Barnard College after her arrest, but the institution's president offered to lift the punishment less than a week later — after Hirsi claimed she was homeless and couldn't get food after being kicked out of the $90,000-per-year school. Hirsi graduated from Barnard in May. 'There is no greater joy as a parent than seeing your child succeed, and today I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to see my eldest daughter Isra Hirsi graduate college,' Omar wrote on Facebook at the time, sharing pics from commencement. Advertisement 'It's been an incredible four years of tremendous growth and challenges as she navigated college life through a pandemic, move to NYC and a righteous fight against Columbia University's support of genocide,' the Minneosta Democrat added. 'I am so proud of you, Isra and I can't wait to see you flourish in the real world.' 3 Omar praised her daughter's 'righteous fight against Columbia University's support of genocide' in a Facebook post celebrating her graduation from Barnard earlier this year. Shutterstock 3 Hirsi's suspension from Barnard was quickly overturned, and she was allowed to graduate in May. William C Lopez/New York Post Advertisement Several top law firms and American CEOs have vowed not to hire graduates who engaged in discrimination or harassment of Jewish students during anti-Israel college protests that swept the nation in late 2023 and 2024. It's unclear if Hirsi's unemployment is related to her anti-Israel activities at Columbia University or Barnard.

MIT to step up security after anti-Israel graffiti spray painted on building
On Sunday, The message was 'threatening Israelis who serve or have served in the military,' Kornbluth's email said. Advertisement DAMPL has taken credit for the action on social media, she wrote, adding that the vandalism at MIT 'was only one of several that occurred this weekend in the Boston area and beyond.' 'The safety of our community is paramount,' Kornbluth's email said. 'We reject calls for violence, and we embrace and support all members of our community.' Kornbluth said she has directed MIT Police Chief John DiFava to increase patrols across campus, including the Stata Center. MIT police are working closely with outside law enforcement, including the FBI, to enhance security and investigate the incident, the email said. Advertisement 'We will press for criminal charges for those responsible,' Kornbluth wrote. 'Though we believe this was the work of outsiders, if the responsible party is found to be a member of the MIT community, we will also take disciplinary action.' DAMPL's social media account 'makes outrageous and inaccurate accusations' about the work of Professor Rus,' Kornbluth's email said. 'I want to offer a firm defense of Professor Rus,' Kornbluth wrote. Rus and her fellow MIT researchers 'have faced repeated and willful mischaracterizations of the content and purpose of their work,' Kornbluth's email said. 'This is open, publishable, fundamental research,' she wrote. 'Suggestions that Professor Rus's research is designed for conflict are untrue.' Protesters are calling for an end to funding for a research project that has already expired, Kornbluth's email said. 'For the record, the grant in question had a fixed four-year timeline and ended as planned — and unrelated to any pressure — in November 2024, making these unlawful actions not only reprehensible but pointless as well," Kornbluth wrote. 'We must not, and we will not, tolerate threats of violence and targeted vandalism on our campus,' she said. Advertisement Tonya Alanez can be reached at

Iranian mother released from ICE detention after Republican House Majority Leader intervenes
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An Iranian mother detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers has been released this week following advocacy from Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. Mandonna 'Donna' Kashanian, 64, was detained by ICE officers last month as she gardened in the yard of her New Orleans home. She had been living in the United States for 47 years and her husband and daughter are both U.S. citizens. Kashanian had been allowed to stay in the U.S. as long as she checked in regularly with immigration authorities, as she had done without fail, her family and attorney said. After a surge of community support for Kashanian, Scalise, who represents Louisiana's First Congressional District, including the New Orleans suburbs, told media outlet WDSU that he asked the Department of Homeland Security to give Kashanian 'a fair shake.' Scalise said Kashanian should be judged on 'her life's work' and role in her community. 'When she was picked up, we looked at it and said, 'Are they really looking at it the right way, objectively?'' Scalise told WDSU. 'And so they took a second look at it.' Scalise's intervention was 'absolutely crucial' to behind-the-scenes advocacy to secure Kashanian's release, her attorney Ken Mayeaux told The Associated Press. What happens next for Kashanian's legal status is still being worked out, he added. Scalise's office did not respond to a request for comment from The AP. Kashanian had been a 'devoted mother and wife, a caretaker, neighbor and dedicated volunteer' with Habitat for Humanity, her local school district and other organizations, said Rep. Stephanie Hilferty, a Republican who represents Kashanian's community. More than 100 of Kashanian's neighbors wrote letters of support for her, which Hilferty told AP she and Scalise had shared with President Donald Trump's administration. 'She's just been an incredible volunteer and servant to our Lakeview community, everybody knows her because of all she gives and does,' said Connie Uddo, a neighbor of Kashanian's who leads the NOLA Tree Project where Kashanian and husband have volunteered for years. Some neighbors wrote letters addressed to Trump expressing support for his immigration policies but saying that some people like Kashanian were being detained improperly and urging him to reconsider her case. Kashanian had arrived in the U.S. in 1978 on a student visa and unsuccessfully applied for asylum based on her father's support of the U.S.-backed shah. ICE New Orleans said in a June post on X that Kashanian had failed to depart the U.S. after the Board of Immigration Appeals upheld a deportation order in 1992. 'She was ordered by a judge to depart the U.S. and didn't,' the agency said. 'Shouldn't be a surprise we came knocking.' But Kashanian was allowed to remain with her husband and child as long as she checked in regularly with immigration authorities, her family said. For decades, she had 'faithfully and fully complied with those terms,' said Mayeaux, her attorney. She even managed to check in with authorities while displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Russell Milne, Kashanian's husband, told AP his family was 'extremely grateful' for all the support from their community and elected officials. Kashanian met her husband while bartending as a student in the late 1980s. She volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, filmed Persian cooking tutorials on YouTube and doted on the neighboring children. 'She's meeting her obligations,' Milne told AP following her detention. 'She's retirement age. She's not a threat. Who picks up a grandmother?' The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately provide comment on Kashanian's release. Other Iranians living in the U.S. for decades have also been picked up by immigration authorities, and U.S. military strikes on Iran have raised concerns that more may be taken into custody and deported. Iran was one of 12 countries subject to a U.S. travel ban that took effect this month. Immigration authorities are seeking to arrest 3,000 people a day under directives from the Trump administration. Kashanian's attorney Mayeaux said he represents other clients who had built lives in the U.S. over decades and are now being detained and deported. 'There is still a tremendous amount of heartache that is happening for people,' Mayeaux said. "The difference is they lived quiet lives and didn't have access to political power to change the outcomes in their cases." ___
