US DOJ Drops Subpoenas to NYT Reporters in Trump Air Force One Case

The U.S. Department of Justice has dropped subpoenas to New York Times reporters in the Trump Air Force One case. The move comes after a U.S. district judge raised concerns about the First Amendment implications of the case. The judge, Arun Subramanian, had questioned the government's lawyer about the steps taken before issuing the subpoenas. The case involves the leak of security concerns about President Donald Trump's new Air Force One plane, donated by Qatar. The U.S. Department of Justice had been investigating the leak, but has now dropped the subpoenas.
