Justice Department Subpoenas New York Times Journalists Over Air Force One Reporting

The Department of Justice issued subpoenas to four New York Times journalists to compel their testimony before a federal grand jury. These legal orders target reporters who published details regarding security concerns for a new Air Force One aircraft. The investigation seeks to identify the sources behind the disclosure of sensitive information about the presidential plane. The Trump administration move marks a significant step in escalating pressure on the media regarding national security leaks. Federal officials are reportedly focused on how the journalists obtained specific details about the aircraft's vulnerabilities. The Times has characterized the action as an attempt to interfere with independent reporting on government operations.
