Man Who Carried Clinton’s Nuclear Football Says the Trump Air Force One Leak Was An Inside Job

Robert “Buzz” Patterson isn’t a talking head. He flew combat support missions into Sarajevo. He carried the nuclear football for Bill Clinton for two years. He knows exactly how presidential security operations work — how many people are in the loop, how tightly compartmentalized the information is, and how few people could have known what happened in Turkey when President Trump was rerouted from flying on Air Force One to a secret jet after U.S. intelligence learned of a credible Iranian plot against his life.

Which is why his assessment is so alarming. “If somebody leaked it, it was somebody involved in the process, and that scares the hell out of me,” Patterson told Fox News Digital. “There’s only a few people who actually know exactly what’s going down, and that’s by design.”
