Donald Trump will ‘release UFO secrets’ when he returns to White House as new whistleblower hearing set for this week
DONALD Trump's crushing election victory means he is soon set to have the power to release UFO secrets.
Transparency champion Rep. Tim Burchett has revealed he's had "signals" from Trump that his return to the White House would mean more information on the phenomena would be disclosed.
It comes as a new hearing on aliens is set to be held in the House on Wednesday which could see fresh details emerge with a former Naval commander set to testify.
Following his victory last week, President-elect Trump is also beginning to appoint his top team and outline his foreign policy - reportedly warning Vladimir Putin about Ukraine.
And Trump celebrated his clean sweep of the battleground states by playing a round of golf with granddaughter Kai and Elon Musk.
The president-elect officially flipped Arizona back to the red column on Sunday and finished the election with a stonking 312 electoral college votes.

Watch: CNN commentator reveals how Harris could still become president
Jamal Simmons, who worked for the Vice President's office in 2022, has publicly plotted how his former boss could still lead the nation.
He posted on X: "Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfill one last promise - to be transitional. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first woman president.

‘Wild scheme’ to make Kamala Harris PRESIDENT despite Trump victory is cooked up by defeated Democrat’s ex-comms chiefWho could be Trump's top diplomat?
The Secretary of State position is highly coveted - with Trump revealing in his Joe Rogan interview that everyone in Washington wants it.
America's top diplomat will have a tricky job on their hands finding a quick peace in Ukraine, supporting Israel in its proxy-war with Iran, and being tough on China.
Several names have been thrown around including US Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Hagerty.
The pair are both MAGA Republicans and close allies of Trump who share his world view.
Several ambassadors who have strongly supported Trump could also be in the mix, including Ric Grenell and Robert O'Brien.
O'Brien is responsible for having helped free rapper A$AP Rocky from a Swedish jail after an alleged brawl in Stockholm.
While Grenell served as Trump's acting director of national intelligence - the first openly gay cabinet secretary in US history.

Trump issues warning to Putin in phone call with the Kremlin
The President-elect has held his first phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin since he won the election, according to reports.
A source familiar with the matter told that Donald Trump issued a warning to Putin telling him not to escalate the conflict in Ukraine.
The incoming president reminded Putin of "Washington's sizeable military presence in Europe," the source said.
The pair reportedly spoke about the prospect of ending the war in Ukraine, which Trump previously claimed he could do within 24 hours.
On Friday, the Kremlin broke said that Putin was ready to speak with Trump about Ukraine after he remained silent following Trump's win.
However, this readiness to have a discussion did not mean that Russia's demands to end the conflict had changed, the Kremlin stated.
These demands are to see Ukraine stop trying to join NATO and that it surrender the four territories held by Russia.

Bernie Sanders has stood by his claims that it was unsurprising the Democrats were abandoned by working-class voters after he accused the party of "abandoning" them first.
The Vermont senator said that the working people in America are "angry" which saw friend and ally Nancy Pelosi hit out saying that she did not "agree" or "respect" his comments.
"Nancy is a friend of mine, and we’ve worked together on many issues, but here is the reality," Sanders told MSNBC’s Meet The Press as he doubled down on his comments.
"I have to say to Nancy, in the Senate, in the last two years, we have not even brought forth legislation to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, despite the fact that some 20 million people in this country are working for less than $15 an hour.
"Bottom line, if you’re an average working person out there, do you really think that the Democratic party is going to the mat… and fighting for you?
"I think the overwhelming answer is no. And that is what it’s got to change."

Donald Trump Jr has weighed in on the discussion of who will and will not be part of the incoming president's Cabinet.
He has declared that there will be no place for "war hawks" in the White House under his father's leadership which could spell trouble for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Agreed 100 100 100!!! I'm on it," Trump Jr on X as he shared a post about keeping "all neocons and war hawks out of the Trump administration."
"They have had their time at the table and brought nothing but disaster to the world and this country," the post continued.
This continued pressure spells trouble for Ukraine after Trump has vowed to bring a swift end to the war with Russia.
Critics say this could be done via Russian appeasement rather than reclaiming Ukrainian territory.

Trump-Vance transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt has slammed Democratic governors including Gov. Gavin Newsom, Gov. JB Pritzker and Gov. Kathy Hochul for being "out of touch."
Since Trump's staggering win which saw some of the largest shifts in Blue areas to Trump, including in New York and California, Democrats have vowed to push back against the incoming President's policies.
Newson promised to "safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration."
Illinois Gov. Pritzker warned that if "you come for my people, you come through me," when speaking of his fears that freedom, opportunities, and dignity will be taken from Illinoisans under Trump.
Gov. Hochul announced the Empire State Freedom Initiative aimed at tackling "policy and regulatory" threats that may occur under Trump.
She said she would be ready "to protect New Yorkers' fundamental freedoms from any potential threats."
These Democratic governors are "out of touch with their own voters. They should open their eyes," Leavitt told .
"The American people are done with these far-progressive policies. They want common sense."
