- He offered no documents, names, or verification for the account, with coverage also noting he resigned in 2024 during federal and congressional ethics probes.
- Australian Senator Ralph Babet echoed the allegation on Wednesday, hinting at classified knowledge and suggesting aliens are already present.
- The White House press secretary said a presidential speech on aliens would be news to her, and no U.S. agency has corroborated the existence of such programs.
