Describing her disappearance as an “interesting story”, Trump said that he has been requested by a number of people to make the records available about her with the government to people.

According to the BBC, she was trying to reach Howland Island, a remote, uninhabited coral island owned by the US, to refuel her twin-engine Electra plane, before she and navigator Fred Noonan vanished somewhere over the Pacific.
The government in its official declaration had said that the plane suffered communication problems while trying ton find the island. The plane eventually crashed into the ocean along with Earhart after it ran out of fuel.
However, no physical evidence like the debris of the plane has ever been found to back the claim, that fueled several other theories.
