“I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart, such an interesting story, and would I consider declassifying and releasing everything about her, in particular, her last, fatal flight!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

A judge declared Earhart dead in absentia at the request of her husband in 1939.

“She was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation ‘firsts.’ She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World,” Trump added.

“Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her,” he concluded.

Republican Del. Kimberlyn King-Hinds, who represents the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands’ in the House of Representatives, wrote Trump a letter asking him to declassify the records in July.

There’s speculation that Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan were captured by Japanese forces and executed on the island of Saipan, a part of the Northern Mariana Islands. Some consider the landing location unlikely because Earhart’s destination was Howland Island, more than 2,500 miles away from Saipan.

“In pursuing clarity for my constituents, I have become aware that the U.S. government may still hold documents or records related to Earhart’s journey and final whereabouts that have not yet been made public,” she wrote in the letter. “Should such records exist, their release would contribute meaningfully to our understanding of one of America’s most revered aviators and could finally shed light on the final chapter of her remarkable life.”

The government’s official stance on Earhart’s death is that she and Noonan perished when their plane ran out of fuel and crashed into the Pacific Ocean.

Some believe she crashed on Gardner Island, just a few hundred miles away from Howland Island. Bones were found on the island around April 1940, which were speculated to be Earhart’s. They were later found to be the remains of a male, however.

Tom Crouch, the senior curator of aeronautics at the National Air and Space Museum, said in a 2007 editorial that the mystery of Earhart is partly why people remain interested in her story.

“I want to know where she is, but there’s something uncomfortable about finding out,” Crouch said. “I’m convinced that the mystery is part of what keeps us interested. In part, we remember her because she’s our favorite missing person.”

It’s unclear what new information will come out of Trump’s release of the Earhart files. Her files come before the government provides further clarity on the Epstein files, despite a steady political clamor.
