(Brian Stelter – CNN) The White House Correspondents’ Association has asked President Donald Trump’s administration to “work with us on a protocol for handling extraordinary security circumstances in the future,” now that his secret plane switch last month has been revealed by leaks to news organizations.
Fox News anchor and senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, who is currently serving as president of the group, met with Trump aides about the matter on Tuesday and relayed the press corps’ concerns about the subterfuge.
The so-called “press pool,” which is meant to travel with the US president at all times, was kept in the dark when Trump was slipped out of Turkey last month on an alternate military plane.
Administration officials and members of the media unknowingly flew on a decoy plane — all part of an elaborate ruse prompted by an Iranian threat.
