There wasn’t a “shred of intelligence” shared among senior government officials suggesting that a Chinese spy balloon flew or was going to fly across the United States during former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a former adviser to the administration.
Kash Patel, who served as the Pentagon’s chief of staff to Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller under Trump, made the comments shortly after a number of senior officials in the Biden administration claimed that Chinese regime surveillance balloons entered U.S. airspace during Trump’s tenure.
