Scared Of Iran? Trump Admits He Hid In Food Pickup Truck, Switched Aircraft Over Threat To Life
U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed extraordinary details about a secret security operation during his trip from Turkey last month, saying the aircraft he ultimately flew on may have faced an even greater risk amid concerns over a potential Iranian assassination threat. According to a Washington Post report, Trump was secretly transferred between aircraft inside a catering truck as security officials sought to conceal which plane was carrying the president. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump said the plane he eventually boarded was potentially more vulnerable because it was the aircraft he was actually flying on. The revelation comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran and renewed attention on threats against Trump. The unusual aircraft switch highlights the extreme security measures reportedly taken to protect the U.S. president and prevent potential adversaries from tracking his movements. Watch the full report for the latest details and Trump's explosive comments.

Judge again bars Trump admin from implementing order to limit mail voting
A federal judge has ruled against President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to create a federal voter list and directly involve the US Postal Service in election operations in a way that would limit mail voting. US District Court Judge Indira Talwani had already halted the order Trump signed in March, his second one attempting to set national election rules. On June 25, she sided with Democratic state attorneys general in granting summary judgment, preventing the core parts of Trump's order from taking effect. Tuesday's ruling creates another legal hurdle for the Trump administration to overcome should it get the initial injunction lifted by the US Supreme Court. That it is now less than 90 days before the November 3, 2026 midterm elections underscores the critical need for an injunction to prevent Defendants from changing election rules on the eve of the election, she wrote. The Trump administration in late July requested that the Supreme Court halt lower court decisi
