Pelosi's spokesman says she was planning to fly commercial -- with other congress members -- to Afghanistan for CODEL after Trump nixed plane. But spokesman says they heard from State Dept that the threat level had increased significantly since POTUS announced trip publicly.

Trump denies Pelosi military aircraft for war zone trip

By Jeremy Diamond, CNN

The White House released Trump's letter to Pelosi, a day after she had sent the President a letter suggesting they reschedule his planned State of the Union address scheduled for later this month until the government shutdown is resolved.

"Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed," Trump wrote Pelosi on Thursday. "We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over."

The President of the United States has the authority to direct the Defense Department to not use military assets to support a congressional delegation to military theaters. This support includes air transport and additional security procedures.

It was not immediately clear whether the Defense Department was notified of the decision prior to the President's announcement.
