Four New York Times journalists have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday.

The subpoenas are connected to the leaking of confidential information involving Air Force One.

This is not about the First Amendment. It’s about accountability, the facts, and protecting the President and those serving in his Cabinet.

National security must always come first.

The subpoena was for four journalists for the New York Times who filed a PUBLIC report that President Trump’s new Air Force One airplane DID NOT HAVE anti-missile defense systems at the time it was used in the trip to the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

The FBI requested that the NYT not publish their article because it would compromise the presidential security detail in a designated hostile environment.

The NYT refused to withhold their reporting and did so KNOWING that it was compromising the security of a United States President. The NYT wanted to grouse about President Trump’s decision to convert a gifted Air Force One from Qatar, knowing that their report was a severe security compromise that would put the lives of those aboard the airplane at risk.
