Trump on missing scientists: 'Pretty serious stuff'
President Donald Trump has acknowledged that at least ten scientists with access to classified nuclear and aerospace materials have gone missing. When asked by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy about the possibility of foreign adversaries 'scooping people up,' Trump responded, 'I hope it's random. We're going to know in the next week and a half.' The president then pivoted to blame the situation on the Biden administration's border policies, stating, 'Well, Biden had open borders.' This exchange follows earlier reports of a pattern of scientists with classified access disappearing or being found dead in recent months.
