Justice Department Withdraws Subpoenas Against Three New York Times Reporters in Trump Air Force One Probe
The Justice Department withdrew grand jury subpoenas targeting three New York Times reporters on Thursday, ending a probe into sources for a story regarding the new Air Force One jet. The move follows a federal judge questioning prosecutors over whether the government followed necessary legal procedures before issuing the requests.
The subpoenas sought testimony and phone records about anonymous sources reporting that the Qatari-gifted aircraft lacked missile defense capabilities. Prosecutors admitted legal errors in the request process, but the judge noted the department may reissue the subpoenas if it follows appropriate procedures.
