The Trump administration subpoenaed several New York Times journalists on Friday, July 11, 2026. The legal action follows recent articles detailing security concerns regarding the newly commissioned Air Force One aircraft.
The subpoenas compel the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury. New York Times attorney David McCraw confirmed that federal agents appeared at reporters' homes to serve the documents.
McCraw condemned the move as a violation of constitutional press freedoms. The White House previously denied that the new aircraft has any security vulnerabilities.
