According to the Associated Press, the U.S. Justice Department withdrew subpoenas targeting three New York Times reporters after acknowledging legal errors in the requests. The action followed a judge’s criticism of the department’s earlier filing.
The Globe and Mail, a centrist outlet, foregrounded the vigorous legal opposition and the judge’s reprimand, while the Washington Examiner, a right‑leaning source, led with the subpoenas’ focus on phone records and grand‑jury testimony and highlighted the reporters’ story on President Trump’s Qatari‑donated aircraft. The Examiner omitted any reference to the judge’s rebuke, and the Globe and Mail did not mention the Qatari aircraft angle.
