Rep.\u00a0Marjorie Taylor Greene\u00a0(R-Ga.) on Monday\u00a0called for a probe<\/a>\u00a0into why former President Trump was apparently not informed of previous Chinese surveillance balloons that\u00a0Biden\u00a0officials are saying crossed over the U.S. at least three times during the previous administration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s true the Pentagon purposely did NOT tell President Trump of Chinese Spy Balloons during his administration then we had a serious breach in command during the Trump admin,\u201d Greene said on Twitter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe POTUS is the Commander in Chief. We must investigate and hold accountable those who broke rank,\u201d the longtime Trump ally said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

President Biden ordered the U.S. military on Saturday to shoot down a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that had spent days floating over the country in what defense officials later said was a clear effort to spy on sensitive sites.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Pentagon official\u00a0revealed<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday that similar aircraft had been spotted\u00a0at least three additional times under Trump<\/a>, but the former president swiftly\u00a0denied<\/a>\u00a0that balloons had entered U.S. airspace on his watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
