President Donald Trump on Feb. 19 accused former President Barack Obama of revealing classified information when he offered his opinion on the existence of extraterrestrial life in a recent podcast interview.

“Something that got a lot of attention this week: Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Trump during a press gaggle on Air Force One.
