GB News halted its regular programming on Tuesday morning as presenters Ellie Costello and Mark White delivered a bombshell update: Donald Trump had escaped an "Iranian threat." The announcement came after the US President's plane was forced to divert, with details of an alleged assassination plot emerging.
Details of the alleged plot
Ben Leo, a fellow broadcaster, joined via video link from the US to provide more information. He revealed that last month, President Trump traveled on Air Force One, returning from a NATO summit. The plane stopped in Turkey before heading back to Great Britain, landing at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk.
Leo explained that while on the ground in Ankara, Turkey, secret service received intelligence about an Iranian plot to possibly assassinate the President. He admitted that the specific details of how the plot would have been carried out are not yet known.
Smuggled off the plane
The US correspondent added that President Trump was "bizarrely, and it seems appropriately now, smuggled off Air Force One in an airport catering van." This unusual measure appears to have been taken in response to the threat.
