EXCLUSIVE: For weeks, the White House has said President Trump flew from Turkey on the “former Air Force One,” after the newer AF1 jet gifted by Qatar flew to Britain separately. But that’s not the case. In reality, Trump took a *third* jet, unbeknownst to media and some staff.

Accountabillty matters. Transparency matters. Truth matters. Self dealing--it needs to be documented and exposed. Especially when it involves the president of the United States. No matter what it takes. You nail it down. Expose it. Share it with the world. We did that. And I am proud.
