DOJ Withdraws Subpoenas for New York Times Journalists

The U.S. Justice Department is withdrawing subpoenas that demanded grand jury testimony and phone records from New York Times journalists, following sharp questioning by a federal judge. The subpoenas related to Times reporting on security concerns about President Donald Trump flying on a Qatari-donated Air Force One. The Times had moved to block the subpoenas and alleged the White House was abusing the legal system to intimidate reporters. New York Times lead newsroom lawyer David McCraw discussed the withdrawal with NPR.
