Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded a briefing Tuesday on the alleged Iranian threats that prompted President Donald Trump to deceive the public by secretly switching planes last month.
The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump hid in a catering truck to board a plane after entering a different one in Turkey, the Middle Eastern country that shares a border with Iran and which hosted the July NATO summit attended by the president and other allied leaders. Trump confirmed Tuesday he changed planes but didn't explain the threat he said prompted the covert action.
"The Senate should be immediately briefed on the Iranian threats against the President, the extraordinary measures taken to get him out of Turkey, any risks posed to U.S. personnel, and any threat to the homeland," Schumer said in a statement. "It is unacceptable that Congress was kept in the dark and instead learned about this serious threat through press reports."
