A former US congressman who was once in line to become the country’s top law enforcement official has claimed that a serving member of the military briefed him on what he described as a secret programme involving aliens and abducted humans, a claim he says was made to him directly, in person, while he was still in office.
Matt Gaetz, who was nominated by Donald Trump as attorney general in 2024 before withdrawing amid allegations that he had sexual relations with a 17-year-old, allegations he has denied and for which he has not been charged, made the remarks during a March 31 appearance on The Benny Show, hosted by Benny Johnson, a prominent right-wing influencer.
