Government withdraws subpoenas of 3 reporters for The New York Times after admitting legal errors

The US government withdrew subpoenas that compelled three New York Times reporters to testify about sources for articles regarding President Donald Trump’s Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet. This action in U.S. District Court occurred after the government admitted to legal errors. A federal judge raised questions about how the subpoenas were handled. The New York Times had previously stated that these legal measures represented an attempt to intimidate the free press before the government finally withdrew them.
