Burchett says Stephen Miller has assigned staff to UAP disclosure

The congressman describes White House cooperation, while keeping his expectations for a major announcement in check.

Tim Burchett says Stephen Miller has made UAP disclosure a priority and assigned people to work on it.

The Tennessee congressman spoke to Matt Laslo on September 1 in an interview published by Ask a Pol on September 10. He described cooperation and saw the staffing as a sign that the issue had reached senior White House levels.

But Burchett wasn’t promising an imminent revelation. Asked about rumours of major UAP news, he recalled earlier leaks that had delivered mixed results. He wanted to see what actually emerged before getting his hopes up.

He also expressed reservations about the FBI’s past cooperation, while leaving room for improvement. His frustration hasn’t changed his intention to keep pushing for disclosure.

Burchett entered Congress in January 2019. His official biography lists assignments on the Oversight and Government Reform, Foreign Affairs, and Transportation and Infrastructure committees.
