She wasn&#8217;t informed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">Over the weekend, a Chinese spy balloon flew over the United States. It was finally shot down. The incident caused outrage in Capitol Hill. It left Americans puzzled as to why the spy ballon wasn&#8217;t caught earlier or stopped from flying over large areas of the country. On Saturday, a defense official stated that three Chinese spy balloons have briefly flown over the United States under the Trump administration. Trump and his top defense and national security officials told Fox News Digital that they were never briefed on any Chinese spy flights during Trump\u2019s tenure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre was asked by a reporter to answer questions during the White House press conference. &#8220;How is it possible that this administration discovered at least three previous balloons that flew over the U.S. under the previous administration, but Trump officials didn&#8217;t know it was happening?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/chinese-spy-balloon-crashed-off-coast-of-hawaii-4-months-ago\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CHINESE SPYBALLOON CRASHED HAWAII COAST 4 MOTS AGO, US OFFICIALS SAY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/640\/320\/KJP-screencap.png?ve=1&#038;tl=1\" alt=\"Karine Jean Pierre had an awkward moment at her press conference when she struggled to answer a question about a major story.\"   style=\"display:none\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Karine Jean Pierre was awkwardly unable to answer a question regarding a major story at her press conference.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jean-Pierre\u2019s offered an unclear response.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, so, look, I think that \u2014 and we have talked about this before, about how the \u2014 when it \u2014 when the PRC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/us-government-monitoring-suspected-chinese-spy-balloon-northern-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">government surveillance balloons<\/a> transited the continental U.S. briefly at least three times, as you just mentioned, during the President\u2019s \u2014 the prior administration and once that we know of the beginning of this administration\u2019s,&#8221; She spoke. &#8220;But never for this duration of time, as we know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives did not find her answer convincing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Former Wisconsin Gov.
