NY Times Moves to Block DOJ Subpoenas of Its Reporters in Air Force One Jet Probe

The Justice Department is pursuing grand jury testimony from New York Times journalists. The subpoenas relate to the newspaper’s reporting on the president’s new Air Force One jet. The Times has filed a motion to quash the subpoenas and protect its reporters. The department argues the testimony is necessary for its ongoing investigation. The newspaper contends the subpoenas threaten press freedom. The legal battle centers on the balance between investigative needs and journalistic privilege. A court decision will determine whether the reporters must testify. The outcome could set precedent for future media‑related investigations.
