NYT journalists' subpoena notices withdrawn
The New York Times reported that the U.S. Department of Justice has withdrawn subpoenas that had been issued against some of its journalists. This action was taken in connection with a report concerning security concerns related to a plane gifted by Qatar to President Donald Trump. The newspaper had opposed the government's attempt to obtain phone records of witnesses and to present them before a grand jury, viewing it as an attempt to intimidate the press. The report was originally prepared after it was revealed that the presidential aircraft, Air Force One, which Qatar gifted to Trump, lacked missile defense systems—information that emerged following Trump's complaints about the condition of the two presidential planes since 1990. The withdrawal of these subpoenas affirms the government's respect for press freedom and the right to report.
