Officials from the U.S. Department of Justice have issued federal subpoenas to several reporters employed by The New York Times, requiring them to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan. This measure follows a newspaper report that discussed alleged security weaknesses related to the new presidential aircraft, which was reportedly a gift from Qatar to President Donald Trump. The Justice Department said the reporters are not under investigation, with prosecutors instead seeking to identify the source of the alleged classified information leak.
