New York Times fights subpoenas seeking reporters' testimony in leak probe
TL;DR Summary
The New York Times is suing to quash subpoenas that would force several reporters to testify before a grand jury about anonymous sources, arguing the subpoenas are abusive and aimed at punishing coverage in violation of the First Amendment. The move follows Times reporting that challenged President Trump’s claims about Air Force One and comes as the Justice Department defends the investigation, saying reporters are not targets.
