  • Trump wants military flights – concern about assassination plans

    Donald Trump’s campaign wants the ex-president to travel in military aircraft – in the weeks leading up to the election, reports Washington Post.

    The wish is one of several. The campaign also wants increased flight restrictions over Trump’s residences, bulletproof glass during campaign speeches and more military vehicles that drive Trump between campaign speeches.

    The campaign has applied for historically extensive personal protection, according to sources to the newspaper.

    The reason is that advisers worry about Trump’s security – and claim that the government has received information that Iran is planning to assassinate the ex-president.

    There is no evidence or confirmed information that ties Iran to previous assassination attempts on Trump, the newspaper writes.
