Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has reported seeing drones flying over his home, adding to the growing list of residents who have observed similar phenomena across the state. In an interview with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos, Christie criticized the Biden administration and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for dismissing concerns about the drone activity, arguing that the lack of transparency has fueled public anxiety and conspiracy theories. He emphasized the need for more authority to be granted to state police to investigate and potentially down these drones, highlighting the public's frustration with the government's response. The sightings have sparked questions about potential public safety threats, with Christie and others calling for a more proactive approach from both federal and state officials. He also expressed hope that Kash Patel would understand how the FBI operates in such situations.
