What happened
Court records unsealed Monday show the Justice Department sought phone records of New York Times journalists and some relatives in an effort to identify confidential sources behind Air Force One reporting. The Times has moved to quash those demands and grand-jury subpoenas seeking testimony from Julian E. Barnes, Eric LiptonEric LiptonAmerican journalist, Tyler Pager and Eric Schmitt
Eric P. SchmittAmerican journalist (born 1959). The investigation concerns stories about whether a Qatar-donated Boeing 747-8 intended for President Donald Trump’s use had adequate security retrofits. The newspaper argues the subpoenas improperly threaten press freedom and source confidentiality.
