Trump Covertly Switched Planes Over Iran Threat, WHCA Raises Concerns

President Trump was secretly moved to a second plane while leaving Turkey about a month ago after the Secret Service addressed a threat from Iran, officials said. Some aides and journalists remained on the original aircraft, which was used as a decoy. Responding to questions about the incident, Trump said he had to follow the Secret Service's instructions. The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) has since taken action. WHCA President Jacqui Heinrich met with Trump administration officials to discuss press safety and the credibility of pool reporting after the president's secret plane switch. The meeting centered on ensuring that correspondents can report accurately while their safety is protected during such security-related operations.
