President Donald Trump on Thursday accused former President Barack Obama of revealing classified information when he recently said aliens are real, though Trump offered no evidence to support the allegation.
“He took it out of classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Georgia. “He made a big mistake.”

The comments stem from an interview Obama gave to podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen, released Saturday, in which he was asked about the existence of extraterrestrials.
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in Area 51. There’s no underground facility unless there’s some enormous conspiracy and it was hidden from the president of the United States,” Obama said.
