<p>White House Press Secretary <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> refused to answer when pressed about President <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden&#8217;s</a> apparently false claims that American officials had been able to prevent the Chinese spy balloon from obtaining any sensitive information.</p>
<p>Fox News White House correspondent <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/peter-doocy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peter Doocy</a> posed the question, asking the press secretary to shed light on why Biden would have made such a claim if he knew that it was not true.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Doocy: &quot;The DNI said today that the U.S. does not appear to have provided critical new insights into the People&#39;s Republic of China. So, is it they didn&#39;t provide any new critical insights or they didn&#39;t get anything&quot;</p>
<p>KJP insists &quot;we knew the flightpath &amp; we took precautions&quot; <a href="https://t.co/oFiLqWNZWL">pic.twitter.com/oFiLqWNZWL</a></p>

<p>&#8220;On the China spycraft, why did President Biden say about the China spycraft in February, &#8216;We were able to protect sensitive sites against collection&#8217; if that&#8217;s not true?&#8221; Doocy asked.</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre refused to even address the question, suggesting instead that there was a possibility that it was the reporting that was in error rather than President Biden. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to go into — dive into any reporting. That&#8217;s not something I&#8217;m going to do, I&#8217;m not going to confirm any reporting &#8230;&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>CNN was one of a number of outlets to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/03/politics/chinese-spy-balloon/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> earlier this week that despite the Biden administration&#8217;s claims to the contrary, the balloon was able to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chinese-spy-balloon-collected-intelligence-from-sensitive-military-sites-sent-back-to-beijing-in-real-time-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collect data</a> and &#8220;was able to transmit information back to Beijing in real time.&#8221; Of additional concern was the fact that they had not yet determined whether or not the technology onboard the balloon would have allowed for the data to delete immediately after transmission — which could potentially mean that China was able to retrieve and then immediately delete data without the United States ever learning what it was.</p>
<p>Doocy continued to press Jean-Pierre on the subject, asking, &#8220;The DNI said today that the U.S. does not appear to have provided critical new insights to the People&#8217;s Republic of China. So, is it they didn&#8217;t provide any new critical insights or they didn&#8217;t get anything?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We knew the flight path of the balloon before it crossed the United States &#8230; we took precautions,&#8221; Jean-Pierre replied, going on to repeat Biden&#8217;s claim that the administration had prevented the balloon from accessing any sensitive information.</p>
