Over the summer, freshman Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) — the least senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) — told Ask a Pol, he hadn’t looked into UFO whistleblower David Grusch’s claims but he’d heard “a lot of talk about it” in the Capitol.
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s interview with Sen. Eric Schmitt, slightly edited for clarity.
