Trump Demands Journalists’ Phone Records Over Air Force One Leak

The Trump administration and Department of Justice sought phone records of New York Times journalists and their relatives to identify confidential sources regarding the Air Force One jet. Subpoenas were issued to third-party providers for calls and text messages, including communications with spouses and a mother. This action followed previous subpoenas requiring reporters to testify before a grand jury, prompting lawyers for the journalists to file a motion to quash the requests to protect their sources.
