DOJ Hunts Leak Source After Trump Says NYT Put National Security at Risk
The Justice Department has subpoenaed four New York Times reporters while investigating the source of a classified national security leak. Prosecutors say the journalists are not the targets, but are seeking the person who disclosed sensitive information. President Trump argues the leak may have complicated an American pilot rescue operation and has since announced a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against the New York Times, escalating the confrontation.
