Luna also claimed that the CIA seized sensitive files, including materials on JFK\u2019s assassination and MKUltra, from Tulsi Gabbard\u2019s office, a claim the ODNI denied, stating no raid took place. Luna and another representative visited CIA headquarters to discuss these documents and indicated that the declassification process is ongoing, with efforts to review long-secret files. The push for disclosure was sparked by CIA whistleblower James Erdman III, who testified that boxes containing related materials had been taken during a declassification review. Luna has requested the preservation of all relevant records and has threatened to subpoena the CIA if the documents are not returned.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Anna-Paulina-Luna\/\">Anna Paulina Luna<\/a> (R-FL) announced that the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/CIA\/\">CIA<\/a> is working to declassify recently discovered MKUltra documents tied to the agency\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Cold-War\/\">Cold War<\/a>-era mind-control experiments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luna, the chairwoman of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/House-Oversight-Committee\/\">House Oversight and Government Reform Committee<\/a>\u2019s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, gave the update during <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4630212\/house-declassification-task-force-hearing-mkultra\/\">a hearing<\/a> Tuesday dedicated to \u201cuncovering the truth\u201d about the top-secret CIA program.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/4630204\/mamdani-backed-new-york-candidate-arrested-multiple-times-protests\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Mamdani-backed New York candidate was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/suspect-who-stabbed-killed-pentagon-officer-identified\/\" title=\"Suspect who stabbed, killed Pentagon officer identified\">arrested multiple times<\/a> at protests<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/4628134\/rand-paul-anthony-fauci-answer-to-people\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Rand Paul: \u2018Anthony Fauci will answer to the American people\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4619860\/antifa-leaders-panic-doj-pursues-conspiracy-charges-against-minnesota-operatives\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Antifa leaders panic after DOJ pursues conspiracy charges against Minnesota operatives<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe CIA is currently in the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >declassifying newly found documentation<\/a>,\u201d Luna said, \u201calthough the documents \u2014 I feel comfortable enough to share here \u2014 pertain to a forgery program that was being housed under MKUltra.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luna did not expand on what \u201cforgery program\u201d may have been carried out in connection with Project MKUltra. Operating between 1953 and 1973, the MKUltra program was executed, largely with minimal oversight, as the U.S. intelligence community raced to compete with Soviet espionage. The CIA experimented with drugs such as LSD, including on subjects without their knowledge. Files and testimony revealed that the organization often experimented with unwitting subjects, including prisoners, mental patients, prostitutes, and their clients. The agency\u2019s drug experimentation was designed in large part to determine if mind control and other means of coercion were attainable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The congresswoman\u2019s announcement comes after she claimed that the CIA seized boxes of sensitive files, containing information on the assassination of President John F.

Erdman, a senior operations officer, testified in May before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that approximately 40 boxes containing material on Kennedy\u2019s assassination and Project MKUltra had been taken from the ODNI while they were undergoing declassification review.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luna later issued <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepLuna\/status\/2054693936120164756\">a letter<\/a> addressed to CIA Director <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/john-ratcliffe\/\">John Ratcliffe<\/a>, who served as the director of national intelligence in President Donald Trump\u2019s first administration, requesting the preservation of all records related to the matter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-25\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4549102\/anna-paulina-luna-mkultra-hearing-cia-mind-control-program\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4549102\/anna-paulina-luna-mkultra-hearing-cia-mind-control-program\/\"><strong>ANNA PAULINA LUNA SETS DATE FOR MKULTRA HEARING ON CIA MIND CONTROL PROGRAM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRegarding MKULTRA, these were documents specifically requested by my Task Force and currently being used for our investigation,\u201d Luna wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luna also <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4567877\/luna-whistleblower-cia-jfk-mkultra-files\/\">threatened to file a subpoena<\/a> over the allegedly removed records, giving the CIA a 24-hour deadline on May 13 to return the documents to Gabbard\u2019s office or else she would move to congressionally subpoena the agency.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-26\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luna: CIA declassifying MKUltra documents from Cold War<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3767,"featured_media":2621637,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AP26021596137780.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[38370,7362,21851,60390,36561],"class_list":["post-2621636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-anna-paulina-luna","tag-cia","tag-declassification","tag-government-secrecy","tag-mkultra"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AP26021596137780.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2621636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3767"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2621636"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2621636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2621640,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2621636\/revisions\/2621640"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2621637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2621636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2621636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2621636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
