Mike Gallagher

Former Republican Representative from Wisconsin, Intelligence and Armed Services Committees

2022 · Congress · Politician

A Republican Representative from Wisconsin's eighth district for four terms and a member of the House Armed Services and Intelligence Committees, he left his seat early in April 2024. At the May 17, 2022 hearing on UAP he asked Department of Defense officials about any studies between Blue Book and AATIP and about the alleged Malmstrom episode, specifying that he was not ruling on its veracity. He then had the notes attributed to Admiral Wilson and Eric Davis entered into the record, which Moultrie and Bray said they did not know.
