President Donald Trump allegedly responded to a briefing on alien "hybrids" by questioning if the term referred to Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, according to a claim made by Rep. Eric Burlison of Missouri. Burlison shared the anecdote, which he heard from individuals with knowledge of the meeting, on the podcast "American Alchemy."
"Trump was, during a briefing, told that there are hybrids and that there’s hybrids that potentially live among us," Burlison stated. "Trump’s response was ‘You mean like Adam Schiff?'"
Schiff, who previously served as a congressman and is now a senator, was a prominent figure in the impeachment efforts against Trump. He also played a role on the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Trump has frequently expressed public disapproval of Schiff, giving him several nicknames, including "Shifty Schiff," "Pencil Neck Adam Schiff," "Little Adam Schitt," and "Watermelon head."
This alleged remark comes amid broader claims from UFO whistleblower David Grusch. Grusch, a former intelligence officer, has asserted that the U.S. government possesses knowledge of crashed spacecraft and non-human biological materials. In a November interview on Fox News, Grusch stated that current administration members and the president are well-informed on the subject. He further claimed outside Congress in June that the government is aware of various forms of alien life, including corporeal, human-like beings and "sentient plasmoid" entities.
Burlison suggested that Trump may have also been briefed on "Nordics," a supposed type of extraterrestrial described as humanoid beings resembling Scandinavian people.
