Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) seems to be the most pro-disclosure member of the US Senate.
“I absolutely support the releasing all of the possibility and any kinds of information on UFOs. I believe in that,” Fetterman — who continues recovering from a stroke that’s impacted his speaking — exclusively told Ask a Pol.
LISTEN: Laslo & Fetterman
Thing is, Fetterman doesn’t serve on any of the main committees of jurisdiction. Still, he’s a strong proponent of ending the federal government’s decades'-long veil of secrecy around the issue.
“We need to all know exactly what is going on out there,” Fetterman continued. “The fact that we're even still arguing about it is astonishing to me. This has been the largest discovery now and maybe perhaps ever. So I just feel we, and the American people deserve to know the truth on that. And I don't want to sound like crazy, you know, X Files’ Mulder. I'm not trying to sound like Mulder, but I am absolutely and strongly in support of that.”
As for disclosure?
“I absolutely support, again, for that full, absolute… [release/disclosure],” Fetterman told Ask a Pol. “America is an adult that they deserve to know the truth about all of it.”

TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Fetterman (7-20-2023)
Matt Laslo: “Curious, if you all are — I used to be the correspondent for WHYY in Philly — I’m curious if you’ve looked into the UAP or UFO whistleblower, David Grusch at all? Has he been on your radar? No?”
John Fetterman: “I'm sorry, I can’t [motions to his ears]. Can we go to a more quiet place?”
ML: “Totally. Wanna go over here?”
I take Fetterman to a nook where there’s a freight elevator in the Capitol basement.
