Dem Rep Urges Biden Admin To Be More ‘Forthcoming’ On Drones, Warns How CCP May Be Accessing Backdoor Data

The top Democratic member of the House committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, urged the Biden administration Sunday on Fox News to be more “forthcoming” with information regarding multiple drone sightings on the East Coast, warning that the CCP could be accessing data through them.

In early December, New Jersey residents began expressing concerns after witnessing a series of unidentified drones swarming the skies and flying in formation on some occasions, according to video footage obtained by the Daily Caller. On “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,” host Maria Bartiromo asked the Illinois lawmaker if he had “any information” on the drones flying over the U.S., pressing him on whether he believes it’s Chinese surveillance.

“I don’t know. But what I do know is that I think that the administration needs to be more forthcoming with information that they have. If they believe that some of these lights in the sky are civilian aircraft, then show 🇺🇸US,” Krishnamoorthi said. “Secondly, I’m getting a classified briefing along with my fellow Republicans and Democrats as to the nature of these drones. So we need as much information as possible. With regard to Chinese manufactured drones, I’m very concerned about that, Maria.”

“Actually, I and Elise Stefanik and others have gotten legislation put into the National Defense Authorization Act, which would prevent DJI drones and others potentially from flying over American airspace. Why? Because these Chinese manufactured drones allow for the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, to access data in a backdoor manner and ultimately surveil Americans,” Krishnamoorthi added.
