  "account": "Two members of President Donald Trump's cabinet, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, flew on a decoy plane last month, according to CBS News. They were on board what appeared to be Air Force One, the aircraft associated with the US president, after Trump secretly transferred to a separate flight from a NATO summit in Turkey. The decoy plane was provided to Trump due to a perceived security threat from Iran, but its origin was unclear. Trump initially boarded the same plane as his officials and the press, before moving to the separate flight on a catering truck. The White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, were among those who stayed on the original plane. The incident raises questions about the level of danger the group faced during the transfer.",
