The Secret Service advised President Trump not to leave the NATO Summit in Turkey on the newer Qatari-gifted Air Force One, according to a Wednesday report. Sources familiar with the matter said the president flew out of Ankara on the older Air Force One out of an abundance of caution for a potential threat from Iran, although no threats were explicitly identified, The New York Times reported. The Secret Service referred The Hill to the president's Truth Social post made earlier in the day when asked about the assessment from officials. Trump wrote that the Qatari plane "was sent earlier to RAF Mildenhall, so we could show the wonderful Servicemembers, as per the entire Base's request." "They were very excited, picture enclosed. It was on our way back to the States from Turkey, with virtually no deviation of flightpath," he added.
If Republicans are really looking for election fraud, they might want to check on their own party members. In Massachusetts, the State Ballot Law Commission ruled last week to disqualify Republican candidates for lieutenant governor and attorney general from the state's primary election after they submitted allegedly forged signatures to get their names on the ballot. Ahead of the 2024 general election, residents in St. Johns County received flyers that listed the Republican Party's "official 2024 membership-approved endorsements""but included a very different list of candidates from the one the party actually supported. St. Johns County Commissioners Sarah Arnold and Christian Whitehurst, St. Augustine Beach city commissioner and former Mayor Dylan Rumrell, and Jamie Lynn Johnson each face two misdemeanor counts for conspiracy and producing a false voter guide. read more
