Wartawan New York Times disomasi DOJ terkait liputan Air Force One

Agen federal menyampaikan surat panggilan pengadilan kepada empat jurnalis New York Times pada Jumat malam, memerintahkan mereka untuk bersaksi di hadapan dewan juri minggu depan mengenai laporan mereka tentang pesawat yang dihadiahkan oleh Qatar kepada Presiden Trump.

Surat panggilan tersebut menargetkan reporter Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager, dan Eric Schmitt. Mereka diminta memberikan kesaksian pada hari Rabu di Manhattan terkait dugaan pelanggaran hukum pidana federal.

The Times menerbitkan sejumlah berita minggu lalu dengan mengutip sumber anonim. Salah satu laporan menyebutkan bahwa Secret Service menyarankan agar Boeing 747 pemberian Qatar tidak digunakan sebagai Air Force One pada pertemuan puncak NATO di Turki karena risiko keamanan. Laporan lainnya mencatat bahwa pesawat tersebut tidak memiliki kemampuan antimisil yang canggih.

David McCraw, wakil presiden senior dan wakil penasihat umum untuk The Times, menyebut surat panggilan tersebut sebagai "tindakan berani" yang mengintimidasi jurnalis. Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press mengatakan bahwa tindakan ini melanggar praktik lama Departemen Kehakiman.

Jaksa AS Jay Clayton dari Distrik Selatan New York mengeluarkan surat panggilan tersebut. Gedung Putih dan FBI menolak untuk berkomentar.
