On 1 April 2025, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) whistleblower David Grusch will officially join the staff of Congressman Eric Burlison.
Grusch, a former senior intelligence officer with both the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office, confirmed in a statement to NewsNation yesterday that he will assist Representative Burlison and Congress in holding accountable those who have broken the law.
Grusch stated:
“I’m both immensely humbled and deeply honored to join Congressman Burlison and his amazing team of professionals in pushing for government transparency.”
“The public is rightfully demanding to know the truth and it is my true privilege for me to serve the people of this country once again.
“I will use all my expertise to support Rep. Burlison and help the US Congress restore full oversight while enabling the Legislative Branch’s ability to investigate and hold those accountable who have broken the law and lied not only to our Congress, but also to the Executive Office of the President, Director of National Intelligence, and Department of Justice.”
In an interview with NewsNation’s Blake Burman, Representative Burlison explained why he hired Grusch:
“I think that it’s frustrating to me that we can’t continue to get any further. One of the things that was highlighted to me is that we don’t have someone who’s an expert in this field helping us navigate the intelligence community….the thing is you don’t know which questions to ask. So how do you determine where to go when you don’t have the first clue?”
Representative Burlison, a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and its Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, further elaborated on Grusch’s role, adding:
“He’s putting together a plan that we’ll be able to execute and then work through my office, to get some more information out through the committee staff.”
Burlison added that he intends to establish a direct line of communication with U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to support his investigations into UAP. He also confirmed that Grusch brings valuable connections of his own, including ties to the new Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
