Pentagon Spokesperson Denies Elizondo's Role in AATIP
After Pentagon spokesperson Dana White left, her replacement Christopher Sherwood publicly denied Elizondo had any involvement in AATIP, contradicting the Pentagon's own 2017 confirmation.
Background
After Pentagon spokesperson Dana White — who had confirmed Elizondo's AATIP role for the 2017 Politico article — left the Pentagon, her replacement Christopher Sherwood publicly stated: "Mr. Elizondo had no responsibilities with regard to the AATIP program."
This directly contradicted the Pentagon's own 2017 confirmation and was part of an apparent campaign orchestrated by Garry Reid to discredit Elizondo. Sherwood later privately told Elizondo he knew the truth but had been instructed by forces within the Pentagon not to admit it.
Significance
Exposed institutional dishonesty within the Pentagon regarding UAP, with a spokesperson admitting privately he was ordered to lie.
