NYT expands bid to quash Trump-era subpoenas, adds reporters as movants and seeks unsealing
The New York Times Company and two reporters filed a letter-motion in SDNY requesting to add Tyler Pager and Adam Goldman as movants, amend the Motion to Quash to cover newly disclosed third-party “Phone Provider Subpoenas,” and seek a stay of those subpoenas. They argue the government acted in bad faith to intimidate journalists after Air Force One articles, failed to follow DOJ rules (28 CFR 50.10), and undermined the journalists’ privilege under Second Circuit precedent (The New York Times Co. v. Gonzales), urging the court to unseal the filing and intervene to protect First Amendment rights and press independence.
