Some New Jersey lawmakers are calling for a better explanation after President Donald Trump said the sightings over New Jersey could be traced to FAA-authorized drones.

According to the White House Press Secretary Karoline Levaitt, the Federal Avivation Administration (FAA) had been given permission to fly the drones for "research and various other reasons"

As the White House tells the truth about last month's drone scare, Donald Trump’s comments look bad, but Rep. Jeff Van Drew’s comments look vastly worse.

President Donald Trump's administration has released an update on the mysterious drones spotted flying over New Jersey beginning last fall: "This was not the enemy."

Despite current policy, the FAA during Trump’s first administration actively sought to recruit workers with disabilities.

The White House said the mystery drones flown across New Jersey were "authorized to be flown by the FAA" in the first press briefing of the second Trump administration.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared with reporters a message from President Donald Trump providing an update on the mysterious drones sighted over New Jersey.

In her first-ever White House press briefing, Karoline Leavitt Tuesday said President Donald Trump has sent a message regarding the New Jersey drone mystery that they were not enemy, but were authorized flights for research and other reasons.

The people of New Jersey finally have an answer from the White House about the scores of drones that blanketed the region in paranoia at the end of last year. Or do they? In her first press room briefing, President Donald Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said that the Federal Aviation Administration authorized the drones.

Elon Musk is working with Boeing on behalf of President Donald Trump in order to speed up replacements for the president’s planes, known as Air Force One, that are over budget and behind schedule.

Retired Navy SEAL Clint Emerson suggested the drones could be gathering mobile phone data, while former CIA operations officer Laura Ballman suggested it could be 'a classified exercise to test either evasion technology or detection technology in urban areas'.
