Only three aides were allowed inside the catering truck that secretly moved President Donald Trump during a reported Iranian assassination threat in Turkey last month, the Washington Post reports. Dan Scavino, White House deputy chief of staff; Natalie Harp, Trump's executive assistant; and Walt Nauta, director of Oval Office operations, accompanied the president while cabinet officials including Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller were kept out. The truck ferried Trump from Air Force One to a smaller C-32A aircraft for a separate flight to Britain.
