Watch: White House Asked Directly About TEN Missing And Dead Scientists

The White House has for the first time publicly addressed reports of at least 10 American scientists and experts who have died or gone missing since mid-2024, many of whom had access to classified nuclear or aerospace information. During Wednesday’s press briefing, Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “There are now 10 American scientists who have either gone missing or died since mid 2024. They all reportedly had access to classified nuclear or aerospace material. Is anybody investigating this to see if these things are connected?” Leavitt responded: “I’ve seen the report, Peter. I haven’t spoken to our relevant agencies about it. I will certainly do that, and we’ll get you an answer. If true, of course, that’s definitely something I think this government administration would deem work worth looking into. So let me do that for you.” Fox News’ Peter Doocy: “There are now 10 American scientists who have either gone missing or died since mid 2024.

Speculation EXPLODES Following Disappearance Of 10th Expert With UFO and Nuclear Secrets Among the reported disappearances are several in the Albuquerque area. Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, 68, vanished on February 27 after leaving his home near Quail Run Court NE without his phone, wearable devices or glasses, carrying only a pistol. His wife told 911 dispatchers it appeared he was trying “not to be found.” McCasland had commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which has long been the subject of speculation regarding advanced technology programs. In August 2025, Steven Garcia, 48, a government contractor at the Kansas City National Security Campus facility in Albuquerque, disappeared after leaving his home on foot with only a handgun. He left behind his phone, keys, wallet and car. The facility manufactures more than 80 percent of the non-nuclear components for U.S. military nuclear weapons, and Garcia held top security clearance overseeing classified assets. Two other New Mexico cases involved individuals tied to Los Alamos National Laboratory. Anthony Chavez, 79, a retired LANL worker, and Melissa Casias, 54, an active administrative assistant at the lab with top security clearance, both disappeared in 2025 within weeks of each other. They were last seen leaving their homes on foot, abandoning their vehicles, phones, keys and wallets. No updates have been reported since. Additional cases include Monica Jacinto Reza, 60, director of the Materials Processing Group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who disappeared while hiking in California in June 2025. Her work involved advanced materials for rocket engines and overlapped with projects overseen by McCasland. Several deaths have also been noted in related fields, including nuclear physicist Nuno Loureiro, who was murdered in his home, and astrophysicist Carl Grillmair, also killed at home. In addition, Steven Garcia, a 48-year-old government contractor, vanished without a trace on August 28, 2025. He worked as a property custodian with top security clearance at the Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC) facility in Albuquerque, which manufactures more than 80 percent of the non-nuclear components for U.S. military nuclear weapons and gives personnel broad access to sensitive nuclear assets. Garcia was last seen on surveillance cameras leaving his home on Cattail Court SW in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on foot around 9 a.m., wearing a green camouflage shirt and shorts, and carrying only a handgun and a bottle of water. Garcia left behind his phone, keys, wallet, and car. No trace of Garcia has been found, and the case remains unsolved. Public and congressional interest has grown. Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett has previously commented on the pattern, stating the numbers “seem very high in these certain areas of research” and noting he has “been constantly ran down different rabbit holes” when inquiring with the intelligence community. He added: “I don’t think we should trust our government.” Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz has also called for a hearing. URGENT: ?? Rep.

Trump Says It’s Worth Risking ‘Rights’ To Keep Deep State Surveillance Tool Online

This article, authored by Jesse Stiller is republished under the Creative Commons “CC BY-NC-ND” license with permission from The Daily Caller News Foundation. President Donald Trump signaled a willingness Wednesday to extend a hotly debated surveillance tool while also commenting that he would willingly surrender his rights and privileges to do so. The president posted on Truth Social that he was working with Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, along with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford, on extending Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The post comes as Republicans’ infighting grows over the provision between Johnson and several members of the Rules committee. “I am asking Republicans to UNIFY, and vote together on the test vote to bring a clean Bill to the floor. We need to stick together when this Bill comes before the House Rules Committee today to keep it CLEAN,” Trump wrote. Trump also pointed to former FBI Director James Comey, saying that he used FISA Title I as part of his investigation into Russian Collusion in the president’s 2016 campaign. He then added that he would be willing to surrender part of his own rights for the section. “I am willing to risk the giving up of my Rights and Privileges as a Citizen for our Great Military and Country! Our Military Patriots desperately need FISA 702, and it is one of the reasons we have had such tremendous SUCCESS on the battlefield,” Trump wrote. The President had previously called for Congress to “KILL FISA” in 2024 stating that it was “ILLEGALLY USED” against his campaign to spy on them. The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. Section 702 of FISA allows intelligence agencies to “collect, share, and appropriately share” any foreign intelligence collection regarding potential national security threats, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. While the section does not allow agencies to survey citizens in the United States and only applies to those outside of the country, they can monitor any emails or calls between a party and anyone within the country. “For this reason, Section 702 requires specific procedures to minimize the acquisition, retention, and sharing of any information concerning United States persons,” the office states. Because of ambiguity, this could lead to bulk data collection of communications between Americans and foreigners overseas, even if someone is not suspected of any wrongdoing, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. Essentially, any communication under this section could be done without a warrant. Several Republican representatives vocally opposed a clean passage of a bill, demanding that Johnson consider and add several amendments to any final passage, according to Politico. Republican Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson sought an amendment blocking data brokers from selling info to the government, while other members sought provisions barring data collection without a warrant. The Trump administration faced a litany of FISA abuses and misconduct during the first administration, with the use of a now-discredited dossier by former British spy Christopher Steele to secure FISA warrants. The FBI received evidence at the time that the dossier might contain Russian disinformation and that Russian officials were aware Steele was investigating the Trump campaign at the time. Other members of Trump’s campaign found themselves in the center of investigations, especially against former campaign aide Carter Page. Officials from the FBI reportedly provided false information to wiretap Page, while two other orders were “not valid.” Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe also acknowledged “mistakes” made in the investigation in April 2024 when FISA was also under negotiations to be extended. FISA abuses have also been used against American citizens in the past, using it over 300,000 times between 2020 and early 2021, which also included donors to congressional campaigns and those who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. Republicans, who controlled the House in 2024, passed an extension of Section 702 without any major changes. Your support is crucial in helping us defeat mass censorship.

GOP Senator Says Ilhan Omar Tried To Send $1 Million To Somali Restaurant Calling Itself A Rehab Clinic

This article, authored by Harold Hutchison is republished under the Creative Commons “CC BY-NC-ND” license with permission from The Daily Caller News Foundation. Republican Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst said a far-left Democrat in Congress tried to sneak through an earmark of over $1 million for a suspicious “substance abuse clinic” housed at a Somali-owned restaurant. In the  Jan. 8 interview on “Varney and Company” that resurfaced via the Libs of TikTok X account early Tuesday morning, Ernst highlighted the supposed clinic and said that fraud like the Somali day care scandal could extend to earmarks requested by “members of Congress.” “One of our spending bills making its way through Congress was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, which was an earmark that was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals that share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork,” Ernst told Varney. “Tons of red flags.” “So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers,” Ernst continued. “Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.” Watch: Vance Says The Clock Is Ticking For Ilhan Omar… Ernst said that after she raised the issue, the earmark was stripped from that spending bill. “But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota,” she told Varney. Ernst and Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee asked the Department of Justice to look into the center in a Jan. 15 letter in which they laid out their suspicions about the clinic. The earmark appeared on page 21 of a 42-page document listing various earmarks requested by members of Congress. It states that Omar initiated the request, with Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith also requesting the funds. Ilhan Omar’s Winery EXPOSED As FAKE Shell For Alleged Money Laundering Smith did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. “That earmark was removed from the appropriations bill and was not included in any version of the bill that came up for a vote in the Senate,” a spokesperson for Klobuchar told the DCNF. Independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a 42-minute video on YouTube in late December in which he visited multiple day care centers run by Somalis, causing the issue of welfare fraud in Minnesota to erupt into the national media. Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced he would drop his bid for a third term in a Jan. 5 statement after Shirley released the video.

Rep. Tim Burchett Says “Names, Dates, People And Locations” Set To Be Revealed In UFO Briefings

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) says he is looking forward to what he has seen in classified UFO briefings be made public next week. In a clip that’s ripping across X, Stephen A. Smith asked point-blank: “You’ve said you’ve seen UFO briefings that would, quote, set the earth on fire, end quote. And you also said publicly, you’re not su*cidal. That’s a serious statement. What exactly are you being told that the American people aren’t allowed to hear, sir, about UFOs?” Burchett responded: “I’ve been briefed and seen pictures and talked enough… If they would just release what I was briefed on just a couple weeks ago. Again, we had somebody come in there, a colleague, a friend if you will, that was basically there to disrupt. And they tried to ruffle this guy’s feathers and ask him stuff.” Stephen A.

If anybody will do it, if anybody’s a disruptor, it’s Donald J. Trump, and he will disrupt with this.” “And I had a conversation with folks at the White House today, just about that. Hopefully some things will be coming out soon,” Burchett added. This bombshell comes as the pattern of mysterious deaths and disappearances among top scientists with access to NASA secrets and classified programs continues to explode – exactly the kind of experts who might know “too much” about the very topics Burchett is demanding be released.

Why Are All These Scientists And Military Officials Missing/Dead?

A disturbing number of scientists and military officials connected to America’s most sensitive aerospace, nuclear, and space programs have gone missing or turned up dead recently. The timing is prompting serious questions as to whether it is connected to President Trump ordering the full release of UFO and UAP files. Fox News host Will Cain highlighted several of the cases: SHOCKING: Fox News’ Will Cain exposes that several high-profile scientists and top-secret military officials have recently gone missing or been found dead. —Carl Grillmair: Astrophysicist at Caltech. “He worked on a NASA-supported space telescope project and infrared systems.… pic.twitter.com/k8Peb0QOVl — RedWave Press (@RedWavePress) April 2, 2026 “Carl Grillmair: Astrophysicist at Caltech.
