  "account": "President Donald Trump took two secret planes to fly from a NATO summit in Turkey, according to new details from The Washington Post. The first transfer was from a legacy Air Force One to a smaller aircraft using a catering truck. The second switch occurred when the legacy plane landed at Mildenhall Royal Air Force Base in the United Kingdom, and the president was on board a smaller plane. This was done to protect him from a credible threat from Iran.",
  "summary": "The News Hour has confirmed the Washington Post's reporting on extraordinary, secret security measures taken to protect President Trump. The president switched planes not once, but twice while leaving last month's NATO summit in Turkey. A transfer from the legacy Air Force One to a smaller aircraft, by way of a catering truck, had not been known until now. Nick Schifrin reports.",
