Trump FREAKS After Journos Expose Problem With Qatar Force One
What was said
"The subpoenas, which seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday, were an extraordinary escalation in Trump's efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations. In some cases, those subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at reporters homes."
The Trump administration issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists after the outlet reported on security concerns with Trump's new Qatari-donated Air Force One plane. Federal agents showed up at reporters' homes to deliver the subpoenas, which the Times called a brazen attempt to intimidate journalists. The investigation is being run directly from the White House under Cash Patel's oversight, a departure from historical practice that further dismantles the wall between the White House and FBI.
