US Justice Department Subpoenas New York Times Reporters Over Leaked Aircraft Security Details

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice has issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists after reports emerged detailing that a new aircraft gifted to President Donald Trump by Qatar is reportedly lacking advanced defensive systems. The Justice Department aims to identify the sources responsible for leaking this information.

The journalists in question had revealed in their reports, published by The New York Times, that the new presidential aircraft (a Boeing 747-8) received by Trump as a gift from Qatar is not equipped with the standard missile defense system and the anti-heat missile defense systems found in the older Air Force One model.

This deficiency led Donald Trump, who was attending the NATO summit in Ankara, to use the older presidential aircraft for his return journey.
