Is the FBI involved with the Trump administration’s release of UFO files and the “missing” scientists?

“Just a logical person would look at these and say some of these people that have been lumped in by the press, mostly, there’s not a connection,” Burlison tells us. “They’re all sad circumstances, but there’s not a connection. But it is worth looking into General McCasland and his disappearance.”
Will there be a hearing?
“We’ll try,” Burlison says.

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Eric Burlison (4-27-2026)
SCENE: Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo cuts Rep. Eric Burlison off before the cable networks pounce and drag him in front of their cameras at the base of the Capitol’s East Front steps.
Matt Laslo: “Any update?”
Rep. Eric Burlison: “From the people I’m talking to on the inside in this administration, there is a very — the Trump administration is taking this investigation seriously...”
As they enter the House Carriage Entrance — where horses and buggies used to drop lawmakers off at the Capitol — Burlison gets distracted.
Burlison: “Hold on.”
Burlison peeks around the corner to where producers for cable “news” networks are calling for him to address their cameras.
Burlison: “Hold on a second.”
Laslo: “Yeah.”
Burlison: “They’re taking it very seriously. And so they’re really turning over every stone they can.”
Laslo: “Is that FBI?”
Burlison: “Yeah, I mean, they’re on the investigation on the missing people, the FBI is fully involved. But you also have people that are working the issue for — to release all the documents and files.”
Burlison starts heading to cable camera crews.
Laslo: “Are you convinced that…?”
Burlison: “Thank you, Matt.”
Laslo: “Are you convinced, though, that some of these people have been killed, targeted?”
Burlison: “What I don’t — what I want people to know is that there are a lot of these people — and sadly they’re all a loss to this country and to their families — but there isn’t, I mean, just a logical person would look at these and say some of these people that have been lumped in by the press, mostly, there’s not a connection.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burlison: “They’re all sad circumstances, but there’s not a connection. But it is worth looking into General McCasland and his disappearance.”
Laslo: “Yeah? Should you have a hearing to get that out in public?”
Burlison: “We’ll try.”
A Fox “News” producer — one who trained Laslo in public radio two decades ago this month! — is quietly wooing Burlison to their camera crew.
Laslo: “I mean, now that Fox “News” is covering it?”
Burlison: “We’ll try to.”
Fox Producer: “Who?”
Burlison: “We’ll see.”
Burlison’s led out to the gaggle of network reporters.
Fox Producer: “Who?”
Laslo: “That’s right — Fox, Fox. We don’t say “news” anymore...”
