A person briefed on the matter said a credible threat involving a shoulder-fired missile led the Secret Service to secretly move President Donald Trump off Air Force One. The switch took place during his trip to Turkey last month. Trump was transferred to an unmarked government jet after officials feared the presidential aircraft could be targeted. The account was provided on Wednesday.
