Trump Administration Subpoenas New York Times Reporters Over Air Force One Stories
The Times said the subpoenas targeted four reporters after articles used anonymous sources to raise security questions about the new Qatari-donated jet.
- On Friday, the Trump administration issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists after the paper reported this week on security concerns involving the president's new Qatari-donated Air Force One.
- Scrutiny intensified after an abrupt plane swap during a July 2026 NATO summit trip, when the president switched to an older jet amid a collapsing cease-fire with Iran and attacks on Gulf Arab states.
- The subpoenas target reporters Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager, and Eric Schmitt, demanding testimony before a Manhattan grand jury; The White House spokesman Steven Cheung called the aircraft 'state-of-the-art.'
- This move mirrors earlier Justice Department efforts to compel testimony from reporters at The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, though the DOJ later withdrew those subpoenas.
