FBI Provides Updates On Mysterious Deaths of Scientists

“If the reports are accurate, these deaths and disappearances may represent a grave threat to U.S. national security and to U.S. personnel with access to scientific secrets,” the letters read

On Monday, Comer, a Kentucky Republican, said he did not believe the deaths were a coincidence. “Once you see the facts, it would suggest that something sinister could be happening and it would be a national security concern,” Comer said.

He added he and Burlison were looking to “see if we can put it together and find any missing links to try to solve what’s going on here. Because it’s very unlikely that this is a coincidence. Congress is very concerned about this. Our committee is making this one of our priorities now because we view this as a national security threat.”

Later that day, President Trump told reporters, “I don’t know. Hopefully, coincidence, whatever you want to call it. But some of them were very important people,” adding he would have answers within “the next week and a half.” He added: “I just left a meeting on that subject, so pretty serious stuff.”
