“During a briefing, President Trump was told that there are alien "hybrids" that potentially live among us, and Trump responded, "You mean like Adam Schiff?"”
Attributed to Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), as quoted by the New York Post
Burlison said on the podcast American Alchemy that he heard from people with knowledge of a meeting that Trump was told about alien "hybrids" and that Trump made the quoted joke referencing Adam Schiff.
What the proof shows
The New York Post article repeats Rep. Eric Burlison’s account that, according to people who brief members of Congress (and to what Burlison says David Grusch told him), President Trump was briefed about alleged ‘Nordic’ aliens and human–alien ‘hybrids’ and that Trump joked a lawmaker (Adam Schiff) might be one. Burlison did make that claim publicly on podcast and social platforms; the Apple Podcasts episode and podcast transcripts show Burlison recounting the story and the reported joke. However the report is second‑hand (Burlison is relaying what he says others told him), and there is no independent, on‑the‑record corroboration (no White House transcript or statement, no named firsthand witness, and Burlison has clarified he was repeating what he was told). Because the only publicly available source for the alleged Trump remark is Burlison’s retelling, the impression that Trump actually made the joke during a briefing is unverified and missing important context about sourcing and verification.
Corrected version
Rep. Eric Burlison said on the American Alchemy podcast (July 2, 2026) that, according to people who brief members of Congress and what he says David Grusch told him, President Trump was briefed about alleged “Nordic” aliens and human–alien hybrids; Burlison added that Trump reportedly joked, “Adam Schiff must be one of them.” These claims are second‑hand and have not been independently verified by the White House, David Grusch, or documentary records.
