Times vs Justice Dept Over Sources | Irvine News
Description
The New York Times is fighting back fiercely against the Justice Department’s subpoenas demanding reporters reveal their sources over a bombshell story about security flaws in the new Air Force One — a $400 million Qatar-upgraded plane allegedly used by President Trump at a NATO summit. The Times argues the move violates constitutional protections and is a politically motivated attempt to silence critical journalism. With the Justice Department claiming it’s targeting leakers, not reporters, and amid a broader trend of weakening press protections, the Times is heading to court to defend its reporters’ right to report — and to expose what they say is a dangerous escalation in government pressure on the press.
