EXCLUSIVE: Gillibrand scheduling hearings with UAP whistleblower David Grusch
Congressional investigations into UAPs continue ratcheting up.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is working on scheduling hearings with UAP whistleblower David Grusch, along with the current or former government officials who seem to corroborate some of his claims.
Gillibrand says they’ll be open to the public, if Grusch agrees to allow cameras in.
Last week, the senator announced she secured “full funding for the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in the Senate Armed Services Committee’s markup of the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act.”
Gillibrand is also pushing a measure in this year’s must-pass National Defense Authorization Act in response to Grusch’s claim the federal government is hiding Special Access Programs (SAPs) from Congress. Her proposal would bar funding for any government program that isn’t directly funded by Congress.
“So if there are SAPs out there that are somehow outside of the normal chain of command and outside the normal appropriations process, they have to divulge that to Congress,” Gillibrand recently told me.
Below is the recording and a transcript of my latest interview with Gillibrand.
Matt Laslo: “Any update on the UAP stuff?”
Kristen Gillibrand: “So, we’re trying to schedule a meeting with the whistleblower, so we can ask him questions directly. And then we are also going to try to schedule meetings with the people he mentions in his whistleblowing complaint.”
ML: “And that will be classified or private?”
KG: “We’ll try to do part of it—we’ll do whatever the whistleblower wants. If the whistleblower wants it classified, we’ll do it classified. If he’s willing to do it open, we’ll do it open. And I don’t know—I’ll have to assess if there’s classified information that he’s giving us. So, we’ll create the right setting regardless, and then hopefully, he’ll come in.”
ML: “Is this really layered trying to get to the bottom of it?”
KG: “Yes, it’s extremely layered, because the allegations are very serious.”
Does a “meeting” necessarily mean a hearing?
I'm starting to reach a point of being so frustrated that I'd be willing to drop everything and go march on DC, and march for weeks until our Congress pulls it's boots on and actually start cranking out work on this issue. There are many layers, but most importantly addressing UAPs means addressing the Pentagon and it's unconstitutional behavior and ludicrous spending. We the People are fed up with all the bush beating.
