The Trump administration has subpoenaed several New York Times journalists to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan. This action follows reporting that a Qatari-gifted Air Force One aircraft lacked advanced security features, including antimissile capabilities, leading the president to use an older plane during a trip to Turkey. The Justice Department states it is investigating illegal leaks of classified information, while the New York Times describes the move as an attempt to intimidate journalists.
