The Trump administration has issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists following a report detailing security concerns regarding the new Air Force One, which was gifted by Qatar.
The U.S. Justice Department issued the subpoenas on Friday, seeking to compel the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan five days later. Some of the subpoenas were delivered by agents directly to the journalists at their homes.
The New York Times characterized the move as a brazen act. This action marks the latest effort by the Trump administration to compel testimony from journalists under the threat of penalty.
