President Trump ordered his administration on Friday night to release "all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her."

Trump posted about the order on social media.

"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! 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 wrote on Truth Social.

"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 added.
