Background
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he will direct federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, to “begin the process of identifying and releasing” government files related to aliens and extraterrestrial life. The statement was posted on Truth Social after Trump accused former President Barack Obama earlier in the day of revealing classified information when Obama said “aliens are real” on a podcast the previous week.
Trump’s Statement

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One:
“He’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump said, adding, “He made a big mistake.”

When asked whether he personally believes aliens exist, Trump replied:
“Well, I don’t know if they’re real or not.”
Obama’s Comments
Former President Obama discussed the topic on a podcast hosted by Brian Tyler Cohen, released last Saturday. He said:
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in Area 51. There’s no underground facility unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.”
