Donald Trump was reportedly smuggled from Air Force One to a smaller US Air Force C-32A aircraft through an airport catering vehicle after intelligence warned of a credible Iranian assassination threat. Journalists and some White House officials reportedly remained aboard the larger Air Force One, unaware that the president had already departed on another aircraft in an elaborate security deception. Citing an unnamed US official, the newspaper said the president initially boarded the presidential Air Force One before being discreetly moved through a catering container attached to the aircraft. The report said the elaborate deception followed intelligence warning of a possible assassination attempt against Trump allegedly linked to Iran. Responding to questions about the latest report, the White House defended the aircraft’s security credentials.
