CIA had doubts about Israeli intelligence on a threat to Trump in Turkey that prompted an extraordinary secret flight.
U.S. intelligence officials were skeptical of an Iranian assassination threat against President Donald Trump that was relayed by Israel and prompted an extraordinary clandestine maneuver that saw him secretly fly out of Turkey in an alternate military aircraft, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence said.
The assassination threat was relayed by the Israeli government to the CIA, where analysts did not view the intelligence as compelling and conveyed that skepticism to Trump administration officials, one of the officials said.
Another official called the reports of threats against Trump’s life “Israeli-derived, not U.S.-generated, and viewed as low confidence.”

Is the CIA trying to make my president look bad? Mr. President, march in there and kick some serious ass. CIA indeed.
This being the same CIA that couldn’t foresee any islamic attack within the continental United States, EVER?
The same CIA that actively worked with other intel agencies to frame Trump as a russian asset?
Color me shocked!
Yean, I know. I'm being paranoid. But just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to kill me.
So the CIA leaked info to the WP?
“Oh ! Only ‘low confidence’? That changes everything ! Sure!”
(/sarc)
Don you think PDJT can trust the CIA?
Nope.
CIA may have been coordinating with Iran on the hit.
The President should have put all the press on AF one and then said “it was only “low confidence“ so you should be all right.”
Well, considering their track record, President Trump can fully trust the CIA, right?
Yep I’m not trusting the CIA on this.
GEEBUS! HE SWITHCHED PLANES FOR SECURITY WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL??? GET OFF IT
(not you, hcmama- I can’t believe how the media is obsessed with this)
So the mouthpiece of record for the CIA prints a story that seems to me like a way to embarrass Trump. No surprise there.
better safe than sorry
CIA probably called off the attack once they found out Trump wasn’t on board.
Well, let’s be honest. It’s not as though the Israelis would have no ulterior motives here.
Talk about a non story, I guess they literally have zero issues if they are making a mountain out of this molehill
I have no confidence in the WP. These big media outlets are dinosaurs. Blogs and Youtube type outlets are the future.
“Low confidence” is still “some confidence”
And if it is mitigated by a simple process of switching airplanes, then you do it.
