The Trump administration has released thousands of files related to renowned aviator Amelia Earhart, who vanished in 1937 during her attempt to become the first woman to circumnavigate the world. The Director of National Intelligence said the release was about “finding and telling the truth”, though many experts say the information was already widely available. Laurie Gwen Shapiro – a filmmaker, journalist and author who has spent years researching Amelia Earhart’s life – tells The World the release of the documents was “conveniently timed”. #ABCTheWorld #ABCAsiaPacific
