Former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that recent public claims there were Chinese spy balloons transiting over the United States under the Trump administration are “deeply dangerous” and demand an explanation.

Speaking to Fox News, Pompeo said he never heard of the alleged Chinese spy operations while he was in office. Some top-level officials this weekend claimed that at least three spy balloons entered U.S. airspace while former President Donald Trump was in office, which Trump denied over the past weekend.
