Trump administration subpoenas journalists after reports of Air Force One security concerns -report

The article reports that the Trump administration subpoenaed New York Times journalists following revelations that the new Boeing 747-8 Air Force One, gifted by Qatar, lacks advanced security features such as antimissile capabilities. The New York Times cited multiple officials in highlighting these concerns, noting that the plane's lack of security prompted President Trump to abandon plans to travel abroad on the new jet and instead return to Washington via an older Air Force One. The White House defended the aircraft's security, stating it had 'state-of-the-art' protocols, while the Air Force acknowledged changes to equipment but emphasized no risks were taken. Former Air Force officials expressed surprise at the decision to deploy the new jet internationally before all necessary modifications were completed.
