The scene of President Trump boarding Air Force One after last month\u2019s NATO summit in Turkey is one that TV cameras and photographers have captured countless times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What happened in the moments after that was far from routine, according to exclusive reporting from the Washington Post.<\/p>\n

The Post reports that Trump was shuttled in an airport catering truck to a smaller military plane in which he then secretly departed, even as the White House announced he was flying aboard Air Force One.<\/p>\n

The operation was prompted by an Iranian assassination threat, a U.S. official familiar with the operation told the Post.<\/p>\n

We should note that NPR has not independently confirmed this reporting.<\/p>\n

New information about how the White House handled the president\u2019s security is raising questions about safety and transparency.<\/p>\n

This episode was produced by Elena Burnett and Karen Zamora, with audio engineering by Tiffany Vera Castro and Ted Mebane. Our director is Kai McNamee.<\/p>\n

Our interim executive producer is Courtney Dorning who also edited today\u2019s episode along with Janaya Williams.<\/p>\n
