Saturday, July 11, 2026

The Trump administration hit four New York Times journalists with subpoenas on Friday, after the outlet published a story outlining risks involving President Trump's Qatar-gifted Air Force One plane that recently entered into service.

The Times reported that the refurbished jet lacked some of the advanced security measures of the older aircraft used to transport the president.

"The subpoenas were reportedly delivered to the journalists at their homes by federal agents.

The Times condemned the move, calling it an act of intimidation and an attack on press freedom.

"The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects," Times attorney David McCraw said in a statement.

"Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public's right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used," he continued.

"This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs."

The switch made Drumpfy feel like a sissy-boy, which must have irked him to no end.
