Iran knew key details of Trump’s hotel in Turkey sparking the president’s great plane switch: report

Trump took close aides with him but appeared to leave top Cabinet officials in the older Air Force One

"I guess there was a threat out there. I didn't really ask too much about it. I get a lot of threats," Trump told reporters.

A credible threat to Trump involving Iran set the "deception operation" in motion, a US official familiar with the matter told The Washington Post.

A U.S. official confirmed Tuesday that President Trump was secretly removed from Air Force One and switched to a different plane following a credible threat from Iran as he left the NATO summit in Turkey last month. CBS News' Olivia Rinaldi and Natalie Brand have more.

The plan to protect the president involved a catering truck and a secondary military plane to transfer him safely.
