Tulsi Gabbard Goes Full 'X-Files' With New Conspiracy Theory

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard believes aliens might exist—and is hinting there is “classified” material to back her up supposition.

Gabbard, who oversees 18 U.S. intelligence agencies, was asked whether “there could be aliens” on the New York Post podcast “Pod Force One.” “I have my own views and opinions,” she said. “In this role, I have to be careful with what I share.”

The Post reported that when she was pressed further on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, Gabbard said: “Yes.”

In the recorded interview, she is heard saying that she wasn’t “prepared to talk about” the details—but insisted her office would “be transparent with the public when the time comes.”

Her nod to the longest-running of all conspiracy theories—that the government has secret knowledge of alien life—comes as the Trump administration desperately tries to turn the page from the Epstein scandal which has engulfed it. Gabbard has already done her part to try to help by declassifying parts of former special counsel John Durham’s report into the origins of the claims Donald Trump received help from Russia in 2016 in an attempt to boost the president’s long-standing and repeatedly discredited claims that Democrats conspired to frame him as having colluded with Vladimir Putin to win the White House.
