美国司法部向《纽约时报》多名记者及其亲属发出电话记录传票,意图揭露有关卡塔尔赠送空军一号报道中的机密信息来源 [1]。
传票涉及的电话记录时间跨度从2026年1月1日开始 [1],早于相关报道事件。此前的7月10日,司法部已向三名记者送达大陪审团传票 [1]。
《纽约时报》律师对此举提出强烈批评,指控政府行为恶意且范围过广,并质疑官员证词的真实性 [1]。律师指出,司法部的做法违反了内部规定且缺乏诚意 [1]。
美国曼哈顿联邦检察官杰伊·克莱顿(Jay Clayton)辩称政府在行动中遵循了相关协议 [1]。
目前法官已冻结部分传票的执行,案件正等待进一步的法律裁决 [1]。
The U.S. Justice Department has issued subpoenas for phone records belonging to multiple New York Times journalists and their relatives, including their mothers and spouses, in an attempt to unmask confidential sources related to reporting on a Qatar gift involving Air Force One. [1]
The subpoenas cover a time period beginning January 1, 2026, predating the relevant reporting on the matter. [1] This action follows grand jury subpoenas delivered to three journalists on July 10. [1]
Manhattan Federal Prosecutor Jay Clayton stated that the government has complied with established procedures. [1] However, New York Times attorneys have condemned the government's conduct as malicious and overly broad, questioning the credibility of officials' testimony and asserting that the action violates internal guidelines and lacks good faith. [1]
A judge has frozen the execution of some subpoenas pending further legal review. [1]
