Did the WH say "these are not foreign adversaries' drones" or did they give some mealy-mouthed nonsense like "there is no evidence that ..." or "we have no reason to believe that ..."? Because those are two very different things.

Pentagon: "Our initial assessment here is that these are not drones or activities coming from a foreign entity or adversary."

They can potentially claim "our initial assessment was wrong" later, but IMO they could have done that anyway regardless of their word choice here.
