The US Department of Justice has withdrawn subpoenas against journalists of the New York Times newspaper in the dispute over their sources for reports on the presidential plane. The decision came after a hearing at a court in Manhattan and represents a retreat by the administration of President Donald Trump in a case that sparked debate about freedom of the press in the United States. n-tv ↗
The case concerns the plane that Qatar gifted to Trump and which was meant to serve as Air Force One. The newspaper reported on security concerns associated with this aircraft. According to more recent information, Trump swapped planes during a trip to Turkey after being warned of a threat from forces linked to Iran. He was to fly to Ankara aboard the donated Qatari plane, which lacked advanced defense systems, but used the older Air Force One aircraft for the return flight. n-tv ↗
American authorities had previously attempted to obtain the phone records of the journalists and, according to earlier court documents, also of some of their relatives, in order to identify confidential sources of information. The New York Times objected that such a procedure endangers the protection of journalistic sources and the work of the media. Critics of the administration claimed that the subpoenas may have served as pressure on the media following the publication of information unpleasant for the White House. Der Standard ↗
The withdrawal of the subpoenas halts, for now, the authorities' effort to force the disclosure of sources in this part of the dispute. However, the case continues as part of a broader debate about the security of presidential transport, investigations into information leaks, and the limits of government intervention against journalists.
