Donald Trump claims that Barack Obama acted improperly by allegedly sharing classified information with Americans when he said that aliens exist.
Podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen asked the former president in an episode that aired January 14 if aliens are real.
‘They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,’ the former president replied. He joked that they aren’t being kept at Area 51, as far as he knows.
The clip went so viral and sparked so much speculation that Obama had to post a clarification the following day where he explicitly stated: ‘I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!’
Rather, he said, the former president was sharing his personal belief that ‘the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there.’
But Trump said on Thursday on his way to Georgia that Obama was ‘not supposed’ to be sharing this ‘classified information.
‘I don’t know if they’re real or not,’ Trump told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy aboard Air Force One.
‘I can tell you he gave classified information. He made a big mistake,’ he added.
