Trump Tells Doocy Missing Scientists Cases Show 'Not Much of a Connection'; Promises 'Full Report'

On April 30, 2026, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked President Donald Trump about possible connections among the U.S. scientists at the center of the White House investigation announced on April 17. According to a CNN feature dated the same day, Trump replied that the cases are 'individual,' that 'so far, we're finding that there's not much of a connection,' and that the administration would produce 'a full report' which is 'very serious.' This is the first on-record Trump statement on the missing-scientists matter since the April 17 White House investigation announcement. The promised report has no published release date. The House Oversight Committee Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets is pursuing a parallel probe.
