Officials sought phone records of NYT journalists and their relatives in effort to unmask sources
President Trump’s administration sought phone records of New York Times journalists and their relatives to unmask sources related to a story about a Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet. The Justice Department claims the subpoenas target leakers, not reporters, while the Times argues the requests violate First Amendment protections and constitute an abuse of the grand jury process.
