The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Trump administration has issued subpoenas for the phone records of New York Times journalists, and even some of their relatives, as it tries to identify confidential sources who reported on security concerns with the Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet.
- The Times, in a motion to quash the subpoenas, says the records requests cover time frames beyond the articles in question, suggesting a broader hunt for the paper's sources.
- The Justice Department says reporters are not the targets and that it is pursuing those leaking classified information.
- The case comes amid wider tensions between the administration and the press and follows an FBI search of a Washington Post reporter's home earlier this year.
What to watch next
- The court's ruling on the Times' motion to quash the subpoenas
- Whether the scope of the records requests is narrowed in response to the timeframe objections
- Any further administration action against news organisations or their sources
