Internet users have resurfaced a clip from Seth Meyers’ show in which the host mentioned in July 2025 that Trump would use a story about UFOs to cover up his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The theory gained renewed attention after Donald Trump shared a post on his Truth Social profile promoting information about the identification of life beyond Earth.
The U.S. president said he would instruct the Secretary of War, as well as other departments and “relevant” agencies, to begin the process of releasing federal files “related to alien and extraterrestrial life”.
Trump was accused by several internet users of using the topic of extraterrestrial life to distract public attention from the release of millions of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
One user on X shared a screenshot of an article citing Seth Meyers’ remarks and captioned it: “You’re watching a movie script.”
“They really, really need you to stop talking about the Epstein files,” wrote another.
