Trump’s DOJ subpoenas New York Times journalists over Qatari-gifted Air Force One report

  • The Trump administration issued subpoenas to multiple journalists at The New York Times, seeking their testimony before a federal grand jury. The subpoenas seek to compel the journalists to appear before a federal grand jury in New York City on Wednesday, according to the Times. Some reporters received the documents from federal agents who turned up at their homes.
  • The subpoenas followed the newspaper's report on security concerns regarding the president's Qatari-gifted Air Force One, which reportedly lacks advanced security features.
  • Federal agents delivered the documents to some reporters' homes, with the subpoenas vaguely citing an “alleged violation of federal criminal law.”
  • The New York Times condemned the administration's actions as a 'brazen act' intended to intimidate journalists and suppress public information.
