A staffer for House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) told The Epoch Times that congressional leaders in the intelligence-focused “Gang of Eight” will be briefed this week on the Chinese balloon that flew over the United States.

The staffer said the briefing on the suspected surveillance balloon will not take place tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., contrary to reporting elsewhere.
