EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump and a number of his top national security and defense officials refuted Biden administration officials' claims that Chinese surveillance balloons briefly transited the continental United States during the Trump administration, saying it "never happened."
A defense official on Saturday said Chinese spy balloons briefly traveled over the United States at least three times during the last administration.
But Trump and his officials said that did not occur and criticized the Biden administration for spreading disinformation.
"This never happened. It would have never happened," Trump told Fox News Digital on Sunday morning, adding that Beijing "respected us greatly" under his leadership.
"It never happened with us under the Trump administration and if it did, we would have shot it down immediately," Trump said. "Its disinformation."

“I think it would have made the news seeing as people would have visually seen a giant balloon floating around in the air”
The claim I read was that Chinese balloon(s) came near Hawaii. Leave it to sniveling leftist lawyers to equate that to a balloon traversing the continental US.
There’s zero proof not an official spokesperson stating it happened. It just goes back to ‘the pentagon said’. Who at the pentagon? And when did it happen?
I only found that one came close to Hawaii and that was it. It never entered our or sensitive airspace.
That one was from 4 months ago. It crashed. Not during Trump.
That’s the same theme I see on the conservative side too.
They totally did not transit the continental United States. One balloon drifted near Hawaii and another went over Guam.

CCP had a malfunctioning cloaking device on this balloon. Obviously.
Ukranian disinformation
This is beginning to stink. Someone is lying, but who?

Could be, but the errant Republicans are ALWAYS held accountable, media makes sure the Democrats are protected.
