President Trump Accuses Obama of Revealing Classified Alien Information
President Trump is accusing a predecessor of disclosing top-secret information about extraterrestrials. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday, Trump said Barack Obama revealed classified details when he discussed aliens on a podcast over the weekend, according to USA Today.
“He gave classified information, he’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump said, calling it a “big mistake” but offering no specifics. When asked if he was confirming the existence of aliens, Trump replied, “I don’t know if they’re real or not, I can tell you he gave classified information.”
On Feb. 14, podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen asked Obama if aliens exist. “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” Obama said, joking that there is no secret alien base at Area 51 “unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.” After the comment drew attention, Obama clarified on social media that he was speaking hypothetically. He wrote that while life likely exists elsewhere in the universe, “the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low,” and that he saw no evidence of extraterrestrial contact during his presidency.
Trump, who said he “never” discusses the topic and has “no opinion on it,” reiterated that Obama “took it out of classified information” but did not provide details. The White House said it had no further comment on the president’s remarks, according to Reuters.
On Wednesday, Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, said he “played kind of coy” when she and her husband, Eric, asked him about aliens, the Hill reports. “I’ve heard kind of around… that there is some speech that he has, that I guess at the right time… he’s going to break out and talk about, and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life,” she said on the Pod Force One podcast.
