President Trump declared that his administration will have an answer within the next few days to questions about 10 scientists who died or supposedly disappeared over the past three years.
Conspiracy theories about the scientists have spread online, but right now, there is no solid evidence of a connection between those deaths and disappearances.
“Well, I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn before jetting off to Las Vegas, noting he was just in a meeting on that subject. “Pretty serious stuff … hopefully a coincidence, or whatever you want to call it.”
“Some of them were very important people, and we’re going to look at it over the next short period,” he went on.
