Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Vows to FIRE Staffer Over Disgraceful ‘RICKROLL’ Prank on House Judiciary X Account Instead of Epstein Files
February 28, 2025

The official House Judiciary Committee Republicans X account sparked outrage after a much-anticipated post teasing the release of the Epstein client list turned out to be nothing more than a prank.

In the hours leading up to the anticipated release of the Epstein documents, the House Judiciary GOP account posted, “BREAKING: Epstein Files Released,” along with an encrypted link.

Instead of linking to critical documents, the post directed users to a video of Rick Astley’s 1987 hit song, “Never Gonna Give You Up,” a well-known internet joke known as “rickrolling.”

WATCH:

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna was among the first Republican lawmakers to demand swift action, writing on X, “The amount of people hurt by Epstein is not a joke. Whoever posted this is going to get fired. Disgusting behavior.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has yet to comment on whether disciplinary action will be taken, but Luna’s strong words indicate that heads will roll over the fiasco.

The move left many conservatives fuming, intensifying their frustration over the underwhelming release of the heavily redacted Epstein Files Phase 1.

The Trump administration, led by Attorney General Pamela Bondi, released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, known as “The Epstein Files: Phase One,” to a group of MAGA influencers.

These influencers were seen holding large binders labeled with the files, which were meant to shed light on Epstein’s network but were later criticized for lacking new information.

The stunt involved gifting these binders to the influencers, who were then “slammed” for their involvement.

Critics, including liberal media and some conservative voices, have slammed the influencers for hyping up the event, with comments on social media platforms like X reflecting disappointment.

In the wake of the underwhelming release of the initial batch of Jeffrey Epstein files, Attorney General Pam Bondi has expressed frustration, suggesting she was misled by the FBI regarding the completeness of the documents provided.

Attorney General Bondi had anticipated a more comprehensive disclosure. In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, she revealed that, despite her requests, she was only supplied with approximately 200 pages of documents.

Subsequently, she learned that the FBI’s New York field office possesses “thousands of pages” related to Epstein that were not disclosed. Bondi has demanded that these documents be delivered to the Department of Justice by 8:00 AM on February 28 and has tasked Director Patel with investigating the omission.
