Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., on Friday expressed her "professional opinion" that "Jeffrey Epstein was running an intelligence gathering operation."

"I do believe it was a honeypot operation," she said, during a brief pause of the deposition of former President Bill Clinton. She further opined that several other women assisted Epstein in trafficking young girls. She identified those women as Leslie Groff, Sarah Kellen, Nadia Markova, and Adriana Roth.

"All of these women engaged in the trafficking of minors as adults," she stated. "They were working with and complicit with Jeffrey Espstein's operation and, in my opinion, they are not be given victim status."

Luna did not identify what country or organization Epstein may have been working for. Her assertion that Epstein was running a honeypot operation is directly in conflict with the findings of the FBI, which released a memo insisting the contrary last year.
