Former national security adviser John Bolton said that it would be problematic if alleged Chinese spy balloons transited over the United States under the Trump administration without federal officials being notified at the time.

There were a flurry of reports over the weekend, citing allegedly anonymous U.S. officials, that claimed Chinese balloons flew over the United States when former President Donald Trump was in office. However, Trump, Bolton, and other administration officials refuted those claims and said they were never alerted about such matters.
