Trump Defends DOJ Subpoenas of NY Times Reporters; Google Also Targeted The Department of Justice's recent issuance of subpoenas to New York Times reporters and Google as part of a criminal investigation into a leak about the president's new Air Force One plane has sparked widespread concern about the administration's intentions.
President Donald Trump claims that his focus is on rooting out "cowards, people that are unpatriotic, people that are treasonous," but the implications of this move are far more sinister.
At its core, this case represents a brazen attempt by the Trump administration to intimidate journalists and silence whistleblowers.
