EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., blasted the Biden administration shortly after receiving a closed-door briefing Monday from senior officials regarding the Chinese spy flight crisis.
The classified briefing was "unspecific, insufficient and backward-looking," failing to adequately address the Chinese spy balloon that flew across the U.S. last week, according to Issa's office. During the briefing, which was held in a sensitive compartmented information facility, officials also didn't provide evidence of similar flights taking place during the Trump administration.
"What I took away from this briefing confirmed that this administration and not the previous one had plenty of advance warning of an escalating Chinese espionage program, failed to act, and has now humiliated this country on the world stage," Issa, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.
