NewsNation’s exclusive interview with UFO whistleblower David Grusch sparked international attention with his claim the U.S. government has secretly been in possession of nonhuman spacecraft. Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart says Grusch believes the government may now be behind an effort to release his medical records in an effort to smear his credibility.
In a statement to NewsNation, Grusch said he learned The Intercept intends to publish an article that highlights previous struggles he had with post traumatic stress disorder, grief and depression, specifically incidents in 2014 and 2018. Coulthart thinks someone in the intelligence community leaked Grusch’s medical records to the outlet.
“A temporary detention order transferred (Grusch) to a psychiatric unit and inpatient program where he got the treatment that he needed. This is a document, that if the media had done the right thing, would be in his police department file in the county sheriff’s office,” Coulthart told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Tuesday.
Coulthart continued: “Dave checked today because he assumed that the journalist had done his homework and just asked the local sheriff for the files. The sheriff has confirmed it did not come from him. The only other place that had this information is the intelligence community. (…) The intelligence community leaked it.”
During his interview with Coulthart, the UFO whistleblower volunteered the information about his previous mental health issue.
“When I asked him whether there was any dirt that anybody could drag out to try to discredit him, he barely thought it was worth mentioning but he acknowledged that he’d suffered from PTSD when he returned from Afghanistan,” Coulthart said. “David served his country honorably and with distinction. He’s a decorated officer.”
In his own statement, Grusch said he struggled after coming home from Afghanistan and with the loss of a friend.
“I was personally affected again years later when a close friend of mine, an intelligence officer who was serving in Air Force Special Operations Command at the time, took his own life shortly after we last spoke,” Grusch said. “I am proud to be transparent on this matter and am glad I got the help I needed to continue my intelligence career.”
With the information about Grusch experiencing PTSD, the Department of Defense allowed Grusch to keep his security clearance.
“The intelligence community and the Defense Department clearly accepted that there was no issue because he was allowed to keep his security clearance,” Coulthart said.

Only a fool would believe that total government control over health records was for privacy and not control of citizens.
Looks like the Deep State is fighting back. BTW, despite his PTSD, Grusch never lost his security clearances.
The funny thing is that this was after Grusch returned from assignment in Afghanistan (Air Force Intel). After his PTSD, he not only kept his security clearances but went on to serve with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the NRO.
You cat doesn’t look too happy.;-)
Only a Deep State with this level of incompetence and corruption could give credibility to a mentally-disturbed UFO researcher.
He’s not a UFO researcher. Why would you smear him unless you have an agenda?
That’s because he’s the alien and his owner hasn’t figured it out yet. Cat’s are from a different planet.
“A temporary detention order transferred (Grusch) to a psychiatric unit...”
So, not just a case of the “Blue Mondays” I guess. Likely he was suicidal if they took it that far but didn’t revoke his security clearance, I would guess.
Still saner than my ex-wife.
Didn’t he say/show NOTHING ?
Shush. That’s not forwarding the proper narrative.
Though it is funny how much trouble the govt goes to to suppress discussion of what doesn’t exist.
Everything he has is going to be disclosed to Congress shortly in a SCIF.
“Though it is funny how much trouble the govt goes to to suppress discussion of what doesn’t exist.”
And... How much trouble the govt goes to to suppress a “distraction”.
And it's funny how much trouble some people at FR go to to prevent discussion of this matter here.
I'm not interested in gardening, but I don't spam the gardening threads.
Why do you care?
So, according to you, all veterans with PTSD or depression can’t be trusted to give accurate information and hallucinate most everything.
Same thing in motorcycle threads. The obligatory murdercycle and organ donor comments are usually there by 10 posts. Ignore.
Fetterman is worse, and he’s a US Senator (!)
