U.S. President Donald Trump has addressed reports he secretly flew out of Ankara last month in an aircraft that wasn’t Air Force One amid a potential assassination threat by Iran. “It’s only up the Secret Service. I just follow what they'd like to do,” Trump told reporters Tuesday, adding, “I guess it was a threat out there. I didn't really ask too much about it. I get a lot of threats.” This as new reports suggest Iran had very specific information about Trump’s visit to the Turkish capital, sparking the Secret Service’s immediate reaction. The Republican president was reportedly transferred to a military aircraft via catering truck and separated from not only press, but other White House officials. Asked why it was too dangerous for him to fly on Air Force One and not press, Trump said this: “I don’t know. I guess actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk… That would be the plane I think that they [Iran] would be more likely to go for.” For more info, please go to h
