Trump's wrath against the Nyt. 'Send in our reporters for the scoop on the new Air Force One'
The U.S. administration under Donald Trump has issued subpoenas to several journalists at The New York Times following the publication of articles regarding security concerns related to the new Air Force One, donated by Qatar. The subpoenas require the journalists to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan, which the NYT describes as an unprecedented escalation in efforts to intimidate independent media. Federal agents delivered some subpoenas directly to journalists’ homes, and the citations reference a potential federal criminal violation. Jay Clayton, the U.S. Attorney for Manhattan, issued the subpoenas, and he was recently appointed by Trump as Director of National Intelligence. Legal representatives from The New York Times condemned the action, calling it a blatant attempt to suppress information and intimidate journalists. The articles in question discussed security deficiencies in the new Air Force One, including the lack of advanced missile defense capabilities, citing anonymous sources due to the sensitive nature of the information. Prior to the publication, an FBI official contacted the NYT to request the suspension of the report, citing national security, but拒绝

The New York Times has accused Donald Trump of launching a campaign against press freedom by issuing subpoenas demanding that journalists testify before a federal grand jury regarding alleged security issues with the new Air Force One. The journalists were cited for reporting that Trump had departed Turkey aboard the old Air Force One rather than the new one donated by Qatar, citing security concerns. Federal agents delivered the subpoenas directly to the journalists' homes, with documents signed by Jay Clayton, a Trump appointee. The newspaper condemned the action as 'brazen and intimidating,' arguing it undermines constitutional protections for press freedom and threatens the public’s right to know about government actions.

The Trump administration has issued subpoenas to several journalists at The New York Times following the publication of articles detailing security concerns regarding the new Air Force One donated by Qatar. These concerns reportedly led the Secret Service to recommend using the older presidential aircraft for departure from Ankara after a NATO summit. The Times describes the subpoenas as an 'extraordinary escalation' of efforts by President Trump to intimidate independent media, aiming to force journalists to appear before a federal grand jury, which could lead to criminal charges. The newspaper criticizes the action as an attempt to suppress public knowledge about government operations and the use of taxpayer funds. Subpoenas were issued by Jay Clayton, the U.S. Attorney for Manhattan, who was recently appointed as the next director of the National Intelligence. Prior to the publication of the articles, a high-ranking FBI official had contacted The Times to request blocking the stories under national security grounds without providing further details.
