Trump Charges Biden, Pentagon With Drone Information Suppression In NY, NJ
In a provocative statement, President-elect Donald Trump has launched a stern accusation against President Joe Biden and the Pentagon for allegedly keeping crucial information on mysterious drones secret.
Trump claims the government is fully aware of the origins of the drones seen over New Jersey and New York but chooses to withhold details from the public, the New York Post reported.
During a 70-minute press conference held in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the government's silence on the drone incidents, suggesting the military is deliberately keeping the public in the dark. He emphasized that if the drones were from a simple source like a garage, the military would have precise details about their launch points.
Thousands Report Unidentified Drones Over Busy Cities
Reports of unidentified drones flying over New Jersey and New York have flooded in from thousands of residents, some of whom have managed to capture photographs of the aerial objects. These sightings have sparked considerable public curiosity and concern about their origins and purpose.
Interestingly, the drones were observed near Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. This proximity prompted Trump to jokingly consider canceling his plans to visit the location as a precaution.
Amidst growing public speculation, the White House spokesperson, John Kirby, clarified last week that no federal or local law enforcement body had successfully verified any of the drone sightings. This statement only added to the mystery and confusion surrounding the incidents.
Senate and White House Respond to Drone Queries
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has stepped forward, advocating for transparency regarding the mysterious drones. He promised to pursue definitive answers to the questions raised by worried New Yorkers.
Despite repeated requests for comments from the White House and the Pentagon by media outlets, there has been no immediate response, leaving the public and the media to speculate about the situation.
Trump's comments during the press conference were pointed and critical. "Our military knows and our president knows. And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense," he said, pushing for a more open communication from the government.
Trump Criticizes Government's Lack of Transparency
"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, and for some reason they don’t want to comment," Trump told reporters, stressing the capability of military intelligence.
He continued, "I don’t want to comment on that," when asked if he had received an intelligence briefing on the drones. This added another layer of intrigue to the ongoing discussion about the drones' origins and their implications for national security.
Trump also speculated on the potential threat posed by the drones. "I can’t imagine it’s the enemy, because if it was the enemy, they’d blast it out — even if they were late, they’d blast it," he mused, suggesting that the handling of the situation might be influenced by factors other than national security threats.
Mystery Surrounds Drone Sightings Near Presidential Properties
"Something strange is going on. For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people, and they should," Trump remarked, highlighting his concern over the lack of information being shared with the public. His decision to cancel his weekend trip to Bedminster was made with a tone of caution and responsibility, considering the unresolved nature of the drone sightings.
The absence of clear information from government channels has led to a heightened sense of unease among residents of New Jersey and New York, as well as keen interest from the national press. As the situation develops, both the public and officials like Schumer are calling for more transparency to address and alleviate widespread concerns.
