The Trump administration sought the phone records of several New York Times journalists and some of their relatives, according to a recently unsealed motion. The legal effort was aimed at identifying the sources behind the reporters' work, specifically regarding information about the president’s Air Force One jet in Qatar.
The records were requested long before the articles in question were published. This development highlights the administration's efforts to track internal communications and identify individuals providing information to the press. The unsealed documents provide insight into the scope of the government's pursuit of data concerning newsroom personnel and their families.
