Why are you flying it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Trump replied, \u201cWell, it has \u2014 it has a lot, and you know it has a lot of capability, but as I understand it, in about a month or so, they\u2019re going to send it to have it be maxed out.

A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to an email seeking additional clarification of what Trump was referring to by \u201cmaxed out\u201d and about the time frame he mentioned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Nonetheless, it appeared to be an admission from the president that the plane\u2019s security measures are not as extensive as the models that have been designed to be built from the ground up to serve as Air Force One.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The New York Times reported earlier this month that the new jet, which he flew to Turkey, lacks the same defensive countermeasures as the older model, including antimissile capabilities. The coverage prompted a leak investigation that included the highly unusual step of the FBI, just 24 hours after the story appeared, hand-delivering subpoenas to Times reporters to testify before a federal grand jury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=5345\">This Duck Boats narrator can make more than $2,000 a week.

The planes can also refuel in midair and contain a medical suite that can treat the president.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Trump flew the plane to Turkey for the NATO summit almost two weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But he announced he was taking one of the older jets \u2014 which he has repeatedly criticized as too dated and stiff in its appointments \u2014 when he flew out of Turkey. The Times reported that the Secret Service had advised him to take the older plane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Times then reported that the donated aircraft, which administration officials describe as a \u201cbridge\u201d plane until the long-delayed two brand-new jets that the government has commissioned from Boeing arrive, is lacking some of the most sophisticated systems that the older Air Force One planes have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The White House directed the FBI director to oversee an investigation into how the Times obtained the information. That resulted in the subpoenas being served to several reporters involved in the coverage, with federal agents showing up at their homes to hand-deliver them, as opposed to sending the subpoenas to the newspaper\u2019s lawyers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=5343\">US military identifies 2 soldiers killed in Iranian attack on Jordan as from Texas and Hawaii<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span><i>This article originally appeared in <\/i><i>The New York Times<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Qatari-donated plane has been under scrutiny over whether it is fitted with sufficient defensive capabilities to adequately protect a US president and others traveling on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5347,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
