According to available information, US justice authorities have subpoenaed several journalists from The New York Times who wrote about security concerns surrounding Donald Trump's new presidential aircraft. The reporters are required to testify under oath before a grand jury in Manhattan. BBC World ↗
The case concerns articles about the alleged security of the future Air Force One. Journalists took up the topic after Trump flew in an older presidential aircraft on his return from the NATO summit. The reports questioned whether the new aircraft intended for the American president is sufficiently secure. n-tv ↗
The subpoenaing of the journalists raises questions about the administration's relationship with independent media and about the limits of investigating journalistic work. According to published information, this is not a routine request for clarification but an obligation to testify as part of grand jury proceedings. Die Zeit ↗
Further developments will depend on the scope of testimony the justice system demands and on whether the newspaper or its reporters will contest the subpoenas. The case could have a broader impact on the protection of journalistic sources and on how American authorities approach reporting on matters of presidential security. Politico Europe ↗
