Secret Service Chief Admits Trump Used Decoy Planes Previously
The tactic of using decoy aircraft to protect the former president has been employed before, according to Secret Service Director Sean Curran.
Secret Service Director Sean Curran has revealed that the use of decoy Air Force One flights to covertly transport President Donald Trump was a tactic that had been employed previously by his security team. Curran made the admission in an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, a preview clip of which was released on Friday.
"Look that's not the first time we've done that," Curran stated. "We wish that wasn't reported, because that takes some of our tactics away from being able to do something similar again."
The disclosure follows reports that Trump was secretly smuggled onto a decoy Air Force One, a move intended to enhance his security. The admission from the Secret Service Director confirms that such measures are not new and have been part of the security protocols for the former president.
