Federal prosecutors have issued subpoenas to New York Times journalists as part of an investigation into their reporting on the development of a new Air Force One, a project overseen by former President Donald Trump. The subpoenas, which have been confirmed by the newspaper, are reportedly related to a 2020 article detailing the cost overruns and delays associated with the aircraft's production. The move has raised concerns about the erosion of press freedom and the potential chilling effect on investigative journalism. As the investigation continues, the New York Times has vowed to fight the subpoenas and protect its reporters' ability to gather and report on information in the public interest.
