Trump administration subpoenas NYT reporters over Air Force One security reporting
The Trump administration has issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists following the paper's report on security concerns involving the new Air Force One, according to the Times. The move raises fresh press-freedom questions.
The Trump administration has issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists following the paper's reporting this week on security concerns involving the new Air Force One, according to the Times.
The subpoenas seek information related to the sourcing of the report, a step press freedom advocates say could pressure journalists to reveal confidential sources. The Times has not indicated whether it will comply.
The move adds to a series of tensions between the administration and major news organisations in recent months. Media law experts said such subpoenas rarely succeed in court but can still have a chilling effect on reporting.
