The president refused to be pinned down on the ET question, instead turning it into an attack on former President Barack Obama.

President Donald Trump said that he’s directing the Pentagon and other government agencies to identify and release files related to extraterrestrials and UFOs because of “tremendous interest.”

“He gave classified information, he’s not supposed to be doing that," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, adding that he could declassify related material to get Obama “out of trouble."
