DOJ Subpoenas NYT Journalists Over Air Force One Security Reporting

The U.S. Justice Department subpoenaed several New York Times reporters to testify before a Manhattan grand jury about the paper’s reporting on security concerns with the Trump administration’s new Air Force One, a move condemned by press groups as a threat to a free press. The DOJ said reporters aren’t the targets and cited ongoing investigations into national-security leaks, while the Times noted some subpoenas were served at reporters’ homes and that similar actions had affected other outlets earlier this year. The reporting followed questions about the Qatar-provided plane’s security features and related disclosures, highlighting tensions between national security interests and press freedom.
