Trump's request marks a first in US history

The claim, which appeared in the American newspaper The Washington Post (WP) and is based on correspondence between Trump's campaign team and the US Secret Service, revealed Trump's concern regarding the "possibility of Iran carrying out an assassination attempt against him."

REQUESTED MILITARY AIRCRAFT AND VEHICLES FOR CAMPAIGN TRIPS

According to the WP report, Susie Wiles, the manager of Trump's campaign team, requested "military aircraft and vehicles to be used during Trump's campaign trips" in emails sent to Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe.

Trump's team noted that they had received briefings from the government stating that "Iran could still attempt an assassination against him," and that they had requested military aircraft and vehicles from the Secret Service in response to this threat.

REQUESTED SPECIAL GLASS PROTECTORS

According to the report, the Republican candidate's campaign team also requested additional flight restrictions at locations where Trump's rallies are held, as well as special ballistic glass protectors for Trump and his team.

According to the information in the report, it was stated that there has been no candidate in US history who has used military aircraft during an election campaign period.

Former US President Trump was also the target of an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, surviving the attack with an injury to his ear. The person identified as having fired at Trump was killed.
