NYT reporters subpoenaed over Ankara plane coverage
The U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed New York Times journalists after they reported on security concerns involving the new, Qatari-gifted Air Force One, during President Donald Trump’s Ankara visit.
The new jet, a present from the U.S. ally that the administration spent $400 million on to retrofit and upgrade, entered service last week and was used for the Ankara visit.
But Trump used an older model Air Force One jet to leave a NATO summit in Türkiye and later referenced threats against him made by Iran.
The subpoenas seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan next week, the Times said, adding that federal agents delivered some subpoenas to the reporters at their homes.
