UFO investigator warns Trump disclosure could hand sensitive military secrets to China, Russia

"Maybe that's why Trump closes up when you ask him," Vendittelli told Hannity. "Maybe he knows something that could potentially make that an open door to adversarial countries to come in."

While Lazar's claims remain controversial, Vendittelli argues that the government's secrecy might be a necessary shield against foreign threats.

Vendittelli noted that transparency could backfire by providing information to America's enemies.

"I don't think it is really a good idea to say everything. That's my personal opinion."

"Let's say you speak to Trump, and Trump decides to say everything," he said. "You're [going to] now need a lot of journalists around the world going, 'OK, well prove it.'"

"I figured this was a good crowd because I know you people. You're really into that. I don't know if I am," Trump said.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he intends to release files related to unidentified aerial phenomena and UFOs, along with "all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters."

"I promise you, some guy guarding the installation would have taken a selfie with one of the aliens and sent it to his girlfriend," Obama said.
