The Justice Department tried to force New York Times journalists—and even their families—to reveal secret sources for a story on Air Force One security flaws, but Judge Arun Subramanian shut it down with fiery criticism, calling the move a dangerous overreach. The government backed down and withdrew the subpoenas after the judge threatened sanctions and slammed their tactics. This isn’t the first time the government’s been forced to retreat—similar moves targeted The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal reporters. Though the Justice Department insisted reporters aren’t the target, the judge’s public rebuke and the eventual withdrawal signal a major win for press freedom and a sobering check on government power.
