New York Times moves to quash subpoenas tied to Air Force One story

The New York Times filed a motion to quash subpoenas issued to its reporters by the Trump administration after a report on the new Air Force One, the paper reported Wednesday.

According to the Times, the subpoenas were served following the paper’s coverage of the new aircraft. The newspaper said the subpoenas targeted its reporters, though it did not provide additional details in its account.

The Times reported that its top newsroom lawyer, David McCraw, said in a Wednesday statement that the subpoenas were “abusive,” and the paper characterized the filing as a pushback against the effort.

The reporting and the motion were described by the newspaper in its Wednesday coverage; the Times was the source for the information in this report.
