President Trump's administration issued subpoenas on Friday to some New York Times journalists after the newspaper's report this week on alleged security concerns involving the new Air Force One, according to the paper.The subpoenas seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday, the paper said, adding that federal agents delivered some subpoenas to the reporters at their homes.The NYT report could not be independently confirmed and there was no immediate response from the White House or the Department of Justice."The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects," said the paper's lawyer David McCraw in a statement on Friday.The developments come after the president flew the new Air Force One to a NATO summit in Turkey. But he departed Wednesday on one of the older-model Air Force One jets for a trip to Mildenhall, a Royal Air Force base in Suffolk, England. The two jets both flew to Mildenhall. Mr. Trump then switched to the newer plane for the flight home to Joint Base Andrews.
