Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer this week demanded a briefing on security threats to President Donald Trump amid reports of his departure from Turkey on an alternate plane. "It is unacceptable that Congress was kept in the dark and instead learned about this serious threat through press reports." "This is exactly why Congress must reassert its constitutional authority and bring this conflict to an end. Republicans cannot keep prioritizing Trump’s luxury and vanity over America’s security." Several reports have indicated that the threat may have involved a shoulder-fired missile that could have targeted the presidential aircraft.
