Trump Subpoenas NYT Reporters Over Air Force One Story

Several journalists from The New York Times have been subpoenaed by the Trump administration following their article addressing security issues related to the new Air Force One jet, a gift from Qatar that was put into service last week. Issued on Friday, the subpoenas require the reporters to appear before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday. Some reporters received their subpoenas at home from federal agents. The Times' attorney, David McCraw, criticized the move as alarming for constitutional press freedoms. This development reflects a larger trend of Trump attempting to weaken independent media and protect himself from unfavorable coverage. The White House and the Department of Justice have not yet commented on the situation.
