Can journalists be subpoenaed? Why the US summoned NYT reporters over Air Force One report
The US Department of Justice issued subpoenas to four journalists from The New York Times regarding a report on security concerns about President Donald Trump’s Qatari-donated Air Force One plane. The Times criticized the subpoenas as an attempt to intimidate independent news organizations, marking a significant escalation in tensions between the Trump administration and the press. The journalists are scheduled to testify before a federal grand jury in New York on Wednesday.
