DOJ subpoenas Times reporters in Air Force One leak probe
What's next: the journalists were ordered to appear before a Manhattan grand jury on Wednesday as prosecutors investigate classified leaks.
The Justice Department has subpoenaed several New York Times journalists to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan after the newspaper reported security concerns about President Donald Trump's new Air Force One, a plane gifted by Qatar. The Times said federal agents delivered some subpoenas to reporters' homes on Friday, requiring testimony on Wednesday in an investigation into a possible federal crime. The paper's reporting said Trump flew to a NATO summit in Turkey on the new aircraft but switched to an older plane for the trip home after Secret Service concerns. The department told the BBC it is investigating illegal leaks of national security information, while the Times called the move an attempt to intimidate journalists.
