National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications Adm. John Kirby was criticized for having to be prompted about the downing of another aircraft
Amid several questions-and-answers about new Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's visit to the White House, a reporter asked if Kirby had any information on "another Chinese balloon above Alaska" that was shot down. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Kirby confirmed the Pentagon had been tracking a "high-altitude object" flying at 40,000 feet over Alaskan airspace for about a day – but underlined there is no information yet to discern whether it was of Chinese or even "corporate" origin. He stressed that President Biden ordered the downing after being advised by the Pentagon. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
Charles covers media, politics and breaking news, and has covered the annual CPAC conference for Fox News Digital.
