Justice Department Seeks Information in Leak Investigation 
The Trump administration has issued subpoenas to journalists at The New York Times as part of an investigation into reporting about Air Force One, according to the newspaper.
The subpoenas are linked to a federal inquiry into the alleged disclosure of sensitive government information. Officials have not publicly detailed the scope of the investigation or the specific information being sought from the journalists.
The move has sparked renewed debate over press freedom and the protection of journalists' sources.
Media organizations and press freedom advocates have argued that compelling reporters to reveal confidential sources could have a chilling effect on investigative journalism and the public's access to information.
The administration has defended efforts to investigate unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information, saying such leaks can affect national security and government operations.
Officials have maintained that protecting classified information is a priority while investigations are conducted through legal channels.
The subpoenas could face legal challenges as courts weigh the government's investigative interests against constitutional protections for a free press.
The case is expected to draw close attention from media organizations, legal experts and civil liberties advocates as it moves through the judicial process.
