Reality Check with Ross Coulthart
Bombshell report reveals new Trump assassination plot | Katie Pavlich Tonight Full Show
What was said
"There were these concerns the new plane doesn't have everything that the old one has, like that missile defense and midair refueling capabilities. President Trump himself described that journey from Turkey to the UK as a dangerous flight because of sleaze bags in the region."
The White House confirmed President Trump switched between the old and new Air Force One during his return from the NATO summit in Turkey, citing an abundance of caution after Israeli intelligence warned of Iranian assassination plots. Secret Service described the plane swap as a strategic distraction, while reporters were instructed to close window shades during the flight from Turkey. The incident highlights ongoing threats to the president's life despite ceasefire negotiations.
