MAGA influencer opts out of Trump’s UFO files release

  • MAGA influencer Rogan O’Handley, known as DC Draino, announced he will not participate in the release of upcoming "UFO Files," expressing regret over his previous involvement with the "Epstein Files."
  • O’Handley previously took part in a White House photo opportunity where he and other right-wing influencers were given binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” by then-Attorney General Pam Bondi.
  • The initial release of "Epstein Files" by Bondi contained no new information, leading to widespread disappointment among those who had anticipated significant disclosures.
  • Despite an executive order signed by President Donald Trump directing federal agencies to release records on unidentified aerial phenomena, O'Handley stated he would let any binder related to these files "fall to the ground."
  • The Department of Justice later released millions of documents related to Epstein following the Epstein Files Transparency Act, though many were heavily redacted, and some lawmakers still express concerns about withheld records.
