How a catering truck helped Trump secretly switch planes amid threat from Iran

from PBS News Hour - Health · host PBS News

Correction: In this segment, we misstated the year Major General Qasem Soleimani was killed. We should have said 2020, as the on-screen graphic indicated. We regret the error. The News Hour has confirmed the Washington Post's reporting on extraordinary, secret security measures taken to protect President Trump. The president switched planes not once, but twice while leaving last month's NATO summit in Turkey. A transfer from the legacy Air Force One to a smaller aircraft, by way of a catering truck, had not been known until now. Nick Schifrin reports.
