8:24Now PlayingThe Trump Justice Department tried to force New York Times reporters to testify about their sources after stories on security concerns with the Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet. They also sought phone records that swept up a reporter’s mother and two journalists’ spouses.
A federal judge in Manhattan shredded the legal corners they cut, threatened sanctions, and the government withdrew the subpoenas in open court.
Two days after the stories ran. Family phone numbers. An FBI knock during family movie night. Then a public climbdown and a DOJ statement still calling the process “meticulous.”
