John Podesta is a senior Democratic policy adviser and former White House chief of staff who has long advocated public release of government UFO records.
John Podesta is an American lawyer and political adviser who served as White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, counselor to Barack Obama, chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, and a senior climate official in the Biden administration. He also co-founded the Center for American Progress and has remained influential in Democratic policy networks for decades.
Podesta has spent decades moving among White House service, campaign leadership, think tanks, teaching, and climate policy. He served as Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, founded the Center for American Progress, led Barack Obama’s transition, chaired Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and later returned to government on clean-energy implementation. His UFO-record advocacy persisted across those roles, giving the subject a rare sponsor whose access came from the center of Democratic policy networks rather than from a specialist disclosure organization.
Podesta has publicly argued that the government should release more of its UFO files. During the Clinton and Obama years, he became a point of contact for advocates seeking executive attention. Emails stolen from his personal account and published in 2016 showed correspondence involving Tom DeLonge, astronaut Edgar Mitchell, and others proposing meetings or discussing disclosure. The emails authenticate that approaches occurred; they do not validate every assertion contained in them.
Podesta’s importance to UAP disclosure comes from access and sustained advocacy inside national politics. He publicly argued that excessive secrecy should end, sought records through official channels, and became the political gatekeeper whom disclosure figures hoped could reach a future president. His career tied FOIA and transparency demands to the practical machinery of campaigns, transitions, and White House policymaking.

🚨JOHN PODESTA HAS RESPONDED TO DAVID GRUSCH AND CONFIRMED A UFO CALL WITH TOM DELONGE, GENERAL NEIL MCCASLAND AND ROBERT WEISS One of the claims that David Grusch made during his latest appearance on Joe Rogan involved Tom DeLonge and the group of senior government, military and aerospace figures who began working with him before the 2016 election. According to him, there was a deliberate effort to use DeLonge as a public figure who could help popularize the subject and gradually prepare a y...

💬PODESTA ACKNOWLEDGES UFO CALL WITH DELONGE, MCCASLAND AND WEISS John Podesta has acknowledged participating in a 2016 UFO-related conference call with Tom DeLonge, retired Air Force General Neil McCasland and then–Lockheed Martin executive Robert Weiss. But his recollection of its purpose differs from the account David Grusch recently gave Joe Rogan. During his September 30 interview, Grusch claimed Podesta had authorized an effort to prepare the public for UFO disclosure. He described DeLo...

Connections to Jacques Valee. John Podesta. Hillary Clinton. Luis Elizondo. Christopher Mellon. Steve justice. Colm Kelleher. And it’s insane to me how sooo many things he was saying back in 2017 on JRE have come true. For example, he talked about launching satellites with lasers. The most recent ufo files released a DIRD about laser nano satellites. He talked about a new form of instantaneous communication between crafts, new ufo files released a DIRD on that too. He talked about how “aliens...

[Retweeted] David Grusch says John Podesta, James clapper and others he knows personally were both proving top cover for Tom Delonge/TTSA and it was a part of the wider Clinton disclosure plan “There was an inside job to prep the battle space for Hillary. Jim Clapper and some other people that I know personally were, were providing some top cover and that was gonna be the thing. the Clintons were trying to do it back in the day.” “prior to the 2016 election, Hillary talked publicly, and this...
[Retweeted] BREAKING: Podesta *confirms* discussing UAP with Gen McCasland (AFRL), Weiss (ex-Lockheed Skunk Works head) and DeLonge in 2016. Now why would McCasland, Weiss (and USAF Gen Carey) talk UAP with Podesta? Lockheed widely alleged to possess retrieved UAP. Bravo, @SchreckReports https://t.co/SWLKvpqi4v

Amazing what you can get when you have an experienced national reporter (@SchreckReports) who has a massive rolodex (contacts/connections) AND an interest in re [Quoted] Am I to understand that you reached and got comments on the record from John Podesta about UFOs in less than 9 business hours? https://t.co/Ojsyf2MzML

[Retweeted] NEW: John Podesta responds to David Grusch’s claims from yesterday's Joe Rogan interview. In an email to PARADIGM, Podesta acknowledged participating in a call to discuss "amongst other things, declassifying DOD files and reducing the stigma of professionals taking UAP’s seriously" with Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge, retired Air Force Gen. Neil McCasland, and Rob Weiss, then-head of Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works. But Podesta contested Grusch's claim that it was part of a broader...
