The Justice Department has subpoenaed five New York Times reporters over their investigation into a controversial $400 million Air Force One upgrade — a jet gifted by Qatar that reportedly lacked critical security features, prompting Secret Service pressure to use an older plane. Trump dismissed the report on social media, but media watchdogs see this as part of a broader pattern of government intimidation against the press. Subpoenas were delivered directly to reporters’ homes, sparking outrage from the Committee to Protect Journalists and others who warn this is an unprecedented assault on press freedom. The Times is fiercely defending its journalists, asserting legal protections and preparing to fight in court — as the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan seeks their testimony before a grand jury this week. This showdown underscores a deepening conflict between the administration and the press, with the Times standing firm on the public’s right to know.
