Trump Angered as Four New York Times Journalists Subpoenaed Over Air Force One Security Report
Four journalists from The New York Times were subpoenaed by the U.S. Department of Justice following their report that President Donald Trump’s new Air Force One lacks defensive capabilities. Earlier this week, the newspaper cited American sources revealing that the new plane, donated by Qatar, does not have advanced missile defense systems like the previous model. According to the report, the aircraft was not equipped to safely transport Trump back to Washington from the NATO summit in Turkey.
CNN reported that Trump was both embarrassed and angry over the revelations in recent days. The subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who visited the journalists’ homes. David McCraw, senior legal counsel for The New York Times, condemned the action, stating that the presence of federal law enforcement at journalists’ doorsteps should alarm every American who values the Constitution and press freedom.
Additional reports connected to the broader context include Trump’s opposition to Israeli involvement in potential conflict with Iran and Israeli intelligence uncovering an Iranian assassination plot against Trump.
