US former President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that if he won the presidential election then he would release the
UFO footage
and the
documents
on Jeffrey Epstein, who was a New York and Florida-based financier who was facing trial for sex trafficking.
While speaking with American podcaster Lex Fridman, Trump claimed he would release the videos of possible alien encounters visible to the public.
In the podcast, Fridman asked: "A lot of people are very interested in the footage of UFOs. The Pentagon has released a few videos and there's been anecdotal reports from fighter pilots. So a lot of people wanna know, will you help push the Pentagon to release more footage, which a lot of people claim is available."
Responding to that question, the former president replied: "Oh yeah, sure, I'll do that. I would do that. I'd love to do that. I have to do that."
He also spoke about his assurance of establishing an independent presidential commission on the assassination attempts which would release all documents pertaining to the assassination of former President John F
Kennedy
.
"They also are pushing me on Kennedy. And I did release a lot, but I had people come to me and beg me not to do it. But I'll be doing that very early on. But I would do that,” he added.
Trump than later claimed that he is inclined to release documents on Jeffrey Epstein.
On being asked why Trump had some hesitation over Epstein, the former president said he actually never had any hesitation as he was not involved.
"He (Epstein) was a good salesman. He was a hale and hearty type of a guy. He had some nice assets that he'd throw around like islands. But a lot of big people went to that island. But fortunately I was not one of them,"
Jeffrey Epstein, a financier based in New York and Florida, was awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking when he took his own life in his jail cell in 2019. The accusations against him involved the exploitation of minors for sexual purposes.
Epstein was known for inviting prominent individuals to his private island and luxurious residences. He and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, socialized with a wide range of high-profile figures, including royalty and supermodels. Some of the well-known names associated with Epstein include "Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Stephen Hawking, Michael Jackson, David Copperfield, Leonardi DiCaprio etc but they were not accused of any wrongdoing." While these individuals had connections to Epstein, they were not implicated in any illegal activities.
