Trump administration subpoenas New York Times journalists over Air Force One story, newspaper says

The New York Times reported that the U.S. Department of Justice ordered several of its journalists to testify before a federal grand jury after they covered security concerns related to President Donald Trump’s Qatari-donated Air Force One. The development suggests increased legal/regulatory scrutiny for media coverage of national security matters, though it is unlikely to move markets directly in the near term.
