Trump Administration Sought NYT Journalists' Phone Records to Unmask Sources

The Trump administration pursued phone records of New York Times journalists and their relatives in an effort to identify confidential sources related to articles about President Trump's Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet. This aggressive move, revealed in a motion unsealed Monday, is part of a broader effort by the administration to crack down on media leaks. The subpoenas for phone records were issued alongside grand jury subpoenas compelling journalists to testify about their sources. The New York Times has challenged these actions, arguing they violate First Amendment protections and represent an abuse of the grand jury process.
