National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby sought to quell concerns about the reported drone sightings along the East Coast, saying they are currently “lawful, legal aviation activity,” and there is currently no information indicating otherwise.
Kirby was asked about claims from President-elect Donald Trump on the drones, in which the incoming president contended that the government “knows what is happening.” In response, Kirby argued the government has “a good sense” of this topic and that he is not in disagreement with Trump on this assessment.
