When President Trump left Turkey, the White House said publicly
that he was boarding the old Air Force One — but that plane was a
decoy. In a highly elaborate escape plan prompted by a credible
Iranian threat, Trump was secretly moved through a catering cart
to a military aircraft, leaving passengers unknowingly flying on
the decoy plane.

Today, Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New
York Times, details the operation’s risks and what it reveals
about how seriously the administration views the danger to the
president.

Guest: Maggie Haberman, a White House
