President Donald J. Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has confirmed drones flying over New Jersey and elsewhere were “not the enemy,” raising questions as to why the Biden-Harris government allowed sightings to cause a national panic. “After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons,” Leavitt said at her inaugural press conference.
Leavitt said the update had been given to her by President Trump directly, adding, “Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In time, it got worse due to curiosity.”
She concluded, “This was not the enemy.”
The Biden-Harris government’s decision to keep the public in the dark about drone flights caused widespread concern. Moreover, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s decision to order some parts of the airspace over New Jersey closed for “special security reasons” until January 17, 2025, amid the panic—with violators subject to detention or even deadly force—added to the impression of chaos.
