The Trump administration issued a subpoena to the “New York Times” reporter to testify before a federal jury because of a report on the safety hazards of the Air Force 1 special plane donated by Qatar. The “New York Times” rejected this. The New York Times revealed that US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton issued a subpoena on July 10 requesting the relevant reporter to go to the Manhattan federal court this Wednesday. The newspaper said it had submitted a sealed motion to revoke the summons, claiming that the summons “abuses authority and is not in compliance.” David McCullough, the newspaper's senior vice president and deputy general counsel, issued a statement saying, “The government maliciously issued a subpoena with the aim of retaliating against this newspaper's related reports. The move violates the constitutional rights of The New York Times and its journalists. We will go to court to defend journalists' right to freely report on government developments and deliver important news to the public.”
