The U.S. Department of Justice has summoned five journalists from The New York Times for investigation, following the publication of reports that raised concerns about the defensive protection systems on the new presidential aircraft acquired by President Donald Trump as a gift from Qatar.
According to reports, the subpoenas aim to compel the journalists to testify and hand over materials in their possession, in an effort to identify the sources of information described as relating to sensitive security matters.
The journalists had reported in articles published by The New York Times that the new presidential aircraft, a Boeing 747-8, lacks certain missile defense systems and advanced fortifications available in previous models of Air Force One.
These reports sparked debate over the security measures associated with the new aircraft, particularly amid existing tensions and security threats. The New York Times management stated that it opposes the subpoenas, considering them a threat to press freedom and the public’s right to information.
