Newly released pictures show the Navy recovering what was left of the Chinese spy balloon shot down over the weekend.
The debris field was the size of 1,500 square meters, according to officials, who said the balloon's payload weighed more than a ton.
During a hearing on Capitol Hill, Rep. David Scott, D-Ga., said he"loves" Biden but disagreed with the dayslong delay in shooting down the balloon because of the time it gave the Chinese to collect additional data and intelligence by the aircraft flying over the U.S. "President Biden's decision to let the [Chinese Communist Party] balloons travel the length and breadth of the United States of America was an unpardonable show of weakness on the world stage," Wagner said.
