There's a lot of speculation. I'm hearing it from people inside the administration

that the Trump administration is indeed soliciting advice about how to tell the public

that we're not alone. There are consultations taking place with spiritual leaders.

I'm now able to confirm that. There was some speculation a couple of weeks ago about a group

of pastors, but it turned out that wasn't directly related to the White House. But there are religious

leaders that have been consulted by the White House. I'm aware of people in the administration

who've reached out. I've actually spoken to people myself who've asked what I think would

be the, quote, ontological shock for the public. And I've told them that, frankly, I think the

biggest shock for the public would be the sense of a betrayal of trust if the government doesn't

follow through and tell the whole story.
