AI Summary

Journalists and other passengers were allowed to fly on the presidential jet while a credible threat from Iran was reportedly identified by U.S. intelligence. Trump was secretly moved from Air Force One in a catering truck and exited the plane through a side door, an action first reported by the Washington Post and the New York Times. More than a hundred aides, officials and reporters remained aboard the aircraft, unaware of the danger, and were flown toward Britain. Democrats called for a congressional briefing on the alleged deception. The incident raises questions about why the public and press were misled about the president’s travel.
