President Donald Trump confirms an extraordinary security operation that secretly moved him off Air Force One and onto a military aircraft following intelligence about a potential Iranian threat against the president.
White House correspondent Jon Decker breaks down how Trump was transported in an airport catering truck to a military jet after leaving Turkey, why the Secret Service took the unprecedented precaution, and what the incident reveals about continuing Iranian threats against the president amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran war.
Plus, U.S. forces fire Hellfire missiles at a Panama-flagged cargo ship attempting to breach the American blockade of Iranian ports in the Gulf of Oman. Decker examines the latest military action and why control of the Strait of Hormuz remains a major sticking point in negotiations with Tehran.
Also on the White House Briefing Room: Senator Darlene Graham advances to a South Carolina Republican runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman, President Trump says he plans to campaign for Graham ahead of the August 25 vote, and the White House reportedly pushes the Justice Department to reconsider a prosecution involving alleged damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Jon also shares his firsthand exchanges with President Trump at Joint Base Andrews on the Air Force One security scare, Iran, and the South Carolina Senate race.
