On June 9, 2026, David Grusch appeared with Representatives Anna Paulina Luna, Eric Burlison, Scott Perry, Tim Burchett, and Jared Moskowitz at a U.S. Capitol press conference calling for the release of UAP-related records and stronger whistleblower protections. C-SPAN catalogued the event as "Rep. Burlison and Others on UAP Declassification"; same-day Reuters and NewsNation recordings preserve the remarks and question-and-answer period.123
Attendance
The recordings show Grusch, five House members, investigative journalist Leslie Kean, and filmmaker James Fox participating in the program. Fox opened the remarks, and Kean introduced Grusch; the House members spoke about declassification, oversight, legislation, and protections for people who disclose information.123
Statements
Luna said the group was meeting with the White House and requesting "temporary immunity or permanent immunity" for whistleblowers able to identify locations of craft or advanced technologies. Burlison said Congress was requesting "specific records and videos." Moskowitz summarized his position as "Disclosure today, disclosure tomorrow."23
Grusch said that, in his official duties, he had been exposed to "foreign adversary UAP crash retrieval, exploitation and study efforts" and to U.S.-held audiovisual information related to recovered vehicles and associated biological material. He also said, "Disclosure should not depend on leaks. It should not depend on the public taking my word for it or anyone else's."23
Record and limits
The event page and recordings establish that the press conference occurred and preserve statements by its participants. They do not independently verify claims about non-human intelligence, recovered craft, biological material, or government obstruction. This page therefore records a public disclosure-advocacy event with its substantive claims attributed to the speakers.123
