- Chuck Schumer on Tuesday demanded the Trump administration immediately brief the Senate on why the Secret Service flew Trump home from last month's NATO summit in Turkey aboard a decoy plane.
- Trump departed the NATO summit in Turkey last month on the decoy aircraft due to Iranian threats during the trip, according to the justification Schumer cited in his request.
Why it matters: Schumer's demand forces the administration to publicly disclose the intelligence justification behind the Secret Service's decoy operation at a summit attended by allied heads of state, putting the Iranian threat assessment under formal congressional oversight for the first time.
