New York Times Moves To Quash Trump DOJ Subpoenas To Its Reporters

The New York Times filed a motion to quash subpoenas issued by the Justice Department to several of its journalists. These reporters, including Julian E. Barnes and Eric Lipton, had written about security feature deficiencies regarding the new Air Force One, which was a gift from the government of Qatar to President Donald Trump. This legal action initiates a significant court conflict between the principles of press freedom and the government's power to compel reporters to identify sources.
