Congressional reporter Matt Laslo published photographs, audio, and a transcript of a September 1 exchange with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who chairs the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. Luna displayed a UAP-themed challenge coin and said the FBI division that made it is called the Special Investigations Group. She also described several briefings and coordination involving Congress, the White House, the Pentagon, and AARO.
The recording verifies Luna's statements and possession of the coin, not the institutional details implied by them. No public FBI page, charter, budget record, staffing description, or official statement reviewed for this report establishes whether Special Investigations Group is a formal national unit, an informal team, or a label used for a narrower effort. Luna's comments about possible case-by-case NDA relief and David Grusch speaking with the White House likewise remain attributed statements.
Why it matters
A named congressional source gives reporters a concrete lead to verify, while the missing charter and Bureau confirmation mark the boundary between direct testimony and established organization.
What the source establishes
Verified interview, transcript, and photographs published by Ask a Pol. The coin's origin and the FBI group's formal status, remit, and authority remain unconfirmed by the Bureau.
