NORAD Commander Doesn’t Know When Pres. Biden Was First Made Aware of the Chinese Spy Balloon

EXCERPT:

WICKER: "And you’ve notified your chain of command on that date, January 28, right?"
VANHERCK: "I had a conversation on the evening of the 27 with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff about my plan to intercept and identify and make an assessment, which we did on the 28th of January."
WICKER: "And you sent that notification to Secretary of Defense Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chairman Milley, via classified email, correct?"
VANHERCK: "I sent it to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and to Secretary Austin’s military assistant. I’m assuming that the military assistant passed it to the Secretary."
WICKER: "Okay. And you still are not certain at what point President Biden or Secretary Austin were made aware of the balloon, is that right?"
VANHERCK: "I do not know when the President was made aware."
