President Donald Trump said his administration expects to determine within days whether there is any connection between a series of deaths and disappearances involving 10 scientists over the past three years.

Speculation surrounding the cases has circulated widely online, though officials have not identified any concrete evidence linking the incidents to one another.

“Well, I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn before jetting off to Las Vegas, noting he was just in a meeting on that subject. “Pretty serious stuff … hopefully a coincidence, or whatever you want to call it.”

He added that several of the individuals involved were highly significant figures and said the administration would be reviewing the matter closely in the near term. “Some of them were very important people, and we’re going to look at it over the next short period,” he went on.
