The White House has downplayed media concerns over President Barack Obama’s security in Kenya
after an apparent security breach by a Kenya Airways official.
The KQ official is reported to have sent an email to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Wilson Airport staff, aircraft operators and even flight schools detailing Air Force One’s exact 50 minute landing and departure window for the weekend.
For security reasons, the White House does not publicly release details of the window.
Responding to a question over the apparent breach on Wednesday afternoon, White House national security adviser Susan Rice said it would "in no way affect our approach and plans."
"Often times a lot of this information is not entirely accurate," she said. "In no way is it disturbing our plans."
Weighing in on the same question, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said that the situation with Kenya is different from that of Iraq and Afghanistan where the president has to go unannounced.
