President Donald Trump has asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation to lead an inquiry into whether there are links between a series of deaths and disappearances involving scientists who worked on sensitive space and defense matters, the White House announced Friday.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X to reveal that the White House was “actively working” with the FBI and “all relevant agencies” to “identify any potential commonalities that may exist” between cases involving a number of government scientists and officials who’ve either vanished or died in recent months.
