Trump on NJ drones: Biden admin wants to ‘keep people in suspense’
by Brett Samuels - 12/16/24 12:17 PM ET
President-elect Trump on Monday said the Biden administration knows what is happening with the flurry of drone sightings in the northeast, suggesting it was not a hostile adversary and questioning why officials were not more forthcoming.
“The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from, if it’s a garage they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went,” Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago.
“And for some reason, they don’t want to comment. I think they’d be better off saying what it is,” he continued. “Our military knows, and our president knows, and for some reason they want to keep people in suspense.”
Trump declined to say whether he’d received an intelligence briefing on the drone sightings. But he downplayed the prospect it was a foreign adversary based on the U.S. response.
“If it was the enemy the’d blast it out. Even if they were late, they’d blast it. Something strange is going on. For some reason they don’t want to tell the people,” he said.
