A report from the Washington Post indicates that President Donald Trump used an airport catering truck to escape from Air Force One due to a credible assassination threat from Iran. The operation occurred without the knowledge of accompanying reporters, who believed they were traveling with the president. This incident took place during Trump's return from Turkey last month, leaving journalists and White House staff unaware of the potential danger. A White House reporter expressed concern about the lack of communication regarding their safety. This situation has drawn comparisons to a similar event involving former President Bill Clinton in 2000, where reporters were informed about security measures. Journalist Garrett Graff criticized the White House for not informing the press corps about the threat. The White House has maintained that Trump departed Turkey on the standard aircraft, while communications director Steven Cheung highlighted the security features of the new Air Force One.
