The President, His Plane and the Press

Listen Later

Last Friday night, F.B.I. agents showed up at the homes of several New York Times journalists and summoned them to testify before a grand jury.

The move was a response by the Trump administration to an article about the safety of the new Air Force One.

Tyler Pager, one of the journalists, discusses the story and the subpoenas.

Guest: Tyler Pager, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading:
