DOJ subpoenas NYT journalists over Air Force One security reporting

The U.S. Justice Department subpoenaed four New York Times reporters—Julian Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager and Eric Schmitt—to testify before a Manhattan grand jury next week in connection with an alleged criminal matter tied to their reporting on security concerns surrounding a Qatar-donated Air Force One. The subpoenas, reportedly delivered to reporters’ homes, come after Times coverage of Secret Service concerns and a request from an FBI official not to publish certain details; the subpoenas were issued by SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.
