Officials sought phone records of NYT journalists and their relatives in effort to unmask sources
Officials in President Donald Trump's administration sought phone records of New York Times journalists and their relatives to unmask sources related to articles about a Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet. The Justice Department claims reporters are not targets, but the Times argues the subpoenas violate First Amendment protections and represent an abuse of legal processes.
