Let’s take the wayback time machine to President George H. W. Bush who was also a CIA Director.

As we now know, Trump had an interest in retaining and potentially showing off highly secretive, high classified, special access type information.
I wonder why in all the classified and top secret documents Trump retained at Mar-A-Lago why it appears that none of them contained information about the alien, UAP, UFO, etc. phenomena that many of us are so interested in.
Was it because they don’t exist? Did the alphabet agencies manage to keep the information away from him, allowing military and foreign intelligence go?
one of the big things I hoped for during Trumps presidency was disclosure. It didn’t happen, and I am not sure he will even if he wins a second term.
Honestly, if he include disclosure in his platform he might attract a good amount of new voters.
The really sensitive stuff is briefed Eyes Only. Meaning that no written record is passed on. Especially with someone as sloppy as Trump.
Also, the really good stuff is held within the Department of Energy category of Restricted Data. David Grush explained this in his testimony last summer. The POTUS has no real control over access to RD. By law, access to RD can only be granted by the DOE. Traditionally, the DOE will grant the incoming POTUS the equivalent of a Q clearance, but the UFO/NHI stuff requires a DOE clearance higher than that. The POTUS doesn't have a need to know the details of nuclear weapons design, for example, and likewise doesn't have a need to know all the details about NHIs/UFOs. I know the people who briefed Trump on UFOs/NHIs back in 2019, so I know he has been briefed.
Disclosure of RD is potentially punishable by the death penalty, BTW, so that provides a serious deterrent to blabbing.

Long ago I remember reading….for which I cannot find on the www….where George H.W. Bush as president was asked in passing by a reporter that asked something about…did he know anything about extraterrestrials….to which he hurriedly replied “you don’t know the half of it” and continued walking.
I know what I read…but too this day….I can’t find a direct reference.
However, below is an article which mentions G.H.W.B. having eluded in similar instances….giving answers to questions about UFOs/Aliens.
Source: WH AT DID HE KNOW? George Bush Sr took UFO secrets to the grave – because ‘Americans couldn’t handle the truth’, lobbyist claims
While director of the CIA, Bush is said to have even blocked former president Jimmy Carter's attempts to obtain UFO information during an alleged briefing on November 19, 1976. Bush told the president-elect he didn't have the need to know but if he wanted information he should ask the Congressional Research Service (CRS) to prepare a briefing for the new administration.
"Carter fired him shortly thereafter. One might ask, 'If there was no truth to the extra-terrestrial hypothesis, why would Bush disrespect a presidential request?'"
While campaigning with his son Jeb Bush in the 1980s, Bush was asked about UFOs by a journalist. He replied: "Americans can't handle the truth."
Bush was also quizzed by UFO researcher Charles Huffer during a presidential rally trip to Rogers, Arkansas, in 1988 during which he asked Bush: "Will you tell the people the truth about UFOs?" Bush replied: "Yeah. if we can find it, what it is. We are really interested." When pressed further Bush replied: "I know some. I know a fair amount."
Bush also supported space exploration, and was once quoted in a speech as saying: "We will travel to neighbouring stars, to new worlds, to discover the unknown."

Why didn’t Trump disclose information about non-human intelligences and craft?
