DOJ agrees to withdraw subpoenas for New York Times journalists 23.07.2026

In a significant development for press freedom, the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday agreed to unilaterally withdraw subpoenas that sought to compel New York Times journalists to testify about their sources and provide access to their phone records. The subpoenas were related to the Times' reporting on the new Air Force One plane, which angered President Donald Trump. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian indicated he would quash the subpoenas if the DOJ did not withdraw them, stating, "Subpoenas are the last step, not the first step."
