  You don't need to be a TV pundit to handle these evasions.  Just follow up with a statement like 'Given your refusal to answer the question, I'll assume you are aware that there were similar incidents in the Trump administration."  Make them make their denial explicit.
context: Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), who chairs the House intelligence committee, refused to answer Chuck Todd when asked whether he’d been briefed on the several incidents during the Trump administration. Instead, Turner pivoted back to his claim that Biden is “not seeing the urgency” of the current situation.
  
  Why should they answer truthfully when 78% of fox viewers think this is the first spy balloon to enter US airspace?
