Trump administration issues subpoenas to New York Times journalists

The Trump administration has ordered five New York Times journalists to appear before a grand jury in Manhattan. The subpoenas were issued on Friday and require the reporters to testify on Wednesday. The journalists wrote about security problems with a new plane that Qatar gave to the president for use as Air Force One. The Justice Department wants the reporters to reveal who gave them that information. The government also tried to stop the Times from publishing the story. Joe Kahn, the paper's top editor, said the move was an attempt to frighten the newspaper. The Times's chief legal adviser called it a "brazen act." Press freedom groups say the case raises serious questions about the right to protect sources.
