CIA 'Had Low Confidence' in Trump Assassination Threat That Sparked Secret Air Force One Swap The revelation that President Donald Trump was secretly swapped onto a different plane during his visit to Turkey has raised more questions than answers about the intelligence agencies' handling of threats against the president.
According to reports, the CIA had "low confidence" in an Israeli tip off about an Iranian threat against Trump's life, yet still proceeded with an elaborate deception operation to remove him from the primary presidential plane.
This decision was made despite skepticism expressed by intelligence officials, who saw the warning as part of a broader pattern of Israeli intelligence reporting designed to shape presidential decision making rather than simply inform it.
