The White House has broken its silence regarding the disappearance or deaths of approximately 11 American scientific figures in the nuclear and space fields. Spokesperson Caroline Leavitt addressed the matter for the first time during a Wednesday press conference. On Thursday, President Donald Trump, responding to reporters' questions, stated he had just left a meeting on the topic and called the situation serious, expressing hope the incidents were accidental. The assassinations and disappearances of scientists in sensitive fields have a long history with allegations of foreign intelligence involvement, but no specific pattern has been confirmed.
