CBS News has just learned that US intelligence was tracking the Chinese spy balloon from the moment it lifted off.
This was an entire week before it entered US airspace.
Here’s their video report:

This means that the Biden administration didn’t do anything to stop the Chinese surveillance balloon from entering US airspace.
The question is when did Biden get briefed on the spy balloon. Did he know about it and say not to do anything about it when it took that sharp turn and headed for the US?
Tomorrow’s press briefing should be interesting and full of questions about who knew what and when.
