New details about Trump's decoy flight

This morning on the decision to sneak President Trump out of Turkey on a secret flight last month and the Iranian terror cell allegedly sent to assassinate him. Our chief White House correspondent, Mary Bruce, has the latest. Mary, good morning. Hey, Whit. Good morning. And we are now getting a fuller picture of this extraordinary operation to move and sneak President Trump from Air Force One to a different plane and the threat that sparked this elaborate ruse. It was just hours before President Trump was scheduled to leave the NATO summit in Turkey that the decision was made to secretly sneak him onto a different plane, concealing him in a catering truck. According to a senior administration official, the call was driven by intelligence that an Iranian terror cell had snuck into Turkey with a shoulder-fired missile and that they had information about Trump's movements. Were you worried about a shoulder-fired missile? Not anything, to be honest. Whatever it is. You know my attitude? Whatever. The ruse shrouded in secrecy, with only a handful of top aides aware of what was happening, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, along with communications director Stephen Chung, who all rode on the old Air Force One, sequestered in the front cabin of the plane, away from the rest of the staff and the press, who were unaware that the president wasn't actually on board and that they were effectively acting as a decoy. The plane carrying Trump was escorted by F-35 fighter jets, standard protocol for Air Force One. So, too, was the old Air Force One, something highly unusual for a plane not carrying the president. Trump, dismissing concerns about the threat posed to those who remained aboard the plane he was supposed to be on. Actually, the plane that I flew on was at greater risk. I think it was at greater risk because that would be the plane, I think, that they would be more likely to go for. Now, the president has said he was just doing what the military and Secret Service told him to do. Asked what Trump thought of all this subterfuge, a top aide says he loved it. Witt. All right. Remarkable new details there. And, Mary, there's also a shakeup at the White House. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt is stepping down. Yeah, Witt. After 19 months as White House press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, one of the president's most loyal and fiercest defenders, is stepping down to spend more time with her family. Leavitt, who's just 28 years old, the youngest person to ever hold the job, announcing that she is leaving just weeks after coming back after having her second child. The president, who often praises Leavitt, is thanking her for her service and says she'll remain one of his top outside advisers. Leavitt says that while her fight is entering a new phase, she says it is far from over. Witt, the president has not named her replacement. Mary Bruce at the White House for us. Appreciate it.
