US President Donald Trump was fooled by a comedian into taking a prank call while on board Air Force One. Comedian John Melendez posed as Senator Bob Menendez. He says he spoke to the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner and received a call back from Trump.

Melendez said he claimed to be Senator Menendez and a fake assistant. "Sometimes the [President's] channels are open too widely and mistakes like this happen," a White House official said. Menendez is a Democratic senator from New Jersey and a long-time campaigner for immigration reform.
