First on FOX: R-Fla. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of the government hopes federal agents will destroy or conceal government documents to qualify for life in prison.
Luna, who leads the government's task force on record confidentiality, has introduced a new bill to suspend the High Levels of Record Removal and Destruction (Shred) Act of 2025.
A 20-year mandatory sentence on a government official or employee who is found to have hidden, deleted or cut federal records would levy a 20-year order, according to Bill Text, previewed by Fox News Digital.
Federal law now says it has found it intentionally destroy, forgery or obstruct government records.

Administrators of public records found to destroy or conceal these records could be fined up to $2,000, or faced with a prison for up to three years, or both.
The push for the increase in Luna's penalties comes amid the ongoing position with the Trump administration over declassification of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and, among other things, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy Jr.
Trump officials like Attorney General Pam Bondy and FBI Director Kash Patel have repeatedly vowed to steer transparency, including Epstein and Kennedy's subject matter.

However, Luna told Fox News Digital earlier this week that she had no significant communication with the DOJ about task force issues.
“DOJ wasn't really responding,” she said Tuesday. “Even if they're doing a criminal investigation, they probably shouldn't get the phone, call us and talk about the news about it.”

Meanwhile, there was a wave of pressure from the right, as Bondi and Patel confidently classified the documents related to Epstein. The first information first released to conservative White House influencers was blown up with no meaningful evidence implied by anyone in the crime of the deceased pedophile.
Bondi told Fox News host Mark Levin earlier this month that she was misunderstood by Epstein's documents and that she was warned that she “sitting in thousands of pages of documents” after her first release into the Southern District of New York, which she didn't own.

She added that when Americans see “the complete Epstein file,” “we'll own it. Of course they'll edit it to protect the information and confidential witnesses of the Great Juice, but Americans have the right to know.”
DOJ was unable to immediately return a request for comment by Fox News Digital.
