DOJ Subpoenas NYT Journalists

The Trump administration has subpoenaed several New York Times journalists to testify before a grand jury over their reporting on security vulnerabilities in the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet.

Press freedom groups condemned the move as an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment.

The escalation follows the newspaper's report that the president's luxury plane lacked advanced security features.

Democratic lawmakers joined advocacy groups in warning that the Justice Department's action could intimidate the press.
