Before the Wednesday article was published, a senior official at the #FBI contacted #NYT to ask that the article be held, calling it an issue of #NationalSecurity, acc/to a person familiar with the conversation. The FBI official spoke with a reporter & a senior editor in NYT’s Washington bureau; the official declined to explain the security issue when asked. (A spox for NYT, Charlie Stadtlander, confirmed the account.)

The #subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the #journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by #JayClayton, the #USattorney in Manhattan. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by #Trump to serve as director of national intelligence [ #DNI ].

The #Trump admin issued #subpoenas Friday to several journalists for #TheNewYorkTimes, after the news outlet reported this week on #security concerns involving #Trump’s new #Qatar donated #AirForceOne.
The subpoenas — which seek to force the #reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in Trump’s efforts to #threaten & #intimidate independent news organizations.

A quotation from Henry Commager
The Bill of Rights was not written into the Constitution in order to protect governments from “trouble,” but so that the people might have a legitimate method of causing trouble to governments they no longer trusted.

#SCOTUS rebuffs #AlanDershowitz $300 million suit against #CNN
The Supreme Court refused Monday to revive the attorney’s #defamation lawsuit against CNN over its coverage of remarks he made while defending #Trump during his 2020 #impeachment.
Justices Neil #Gorsuch & #ClarenceThomas dissented from the majority decision, saying legal standards for public figures who claim defamation should be reconsidered.

Since February, the #FCC has been investigating whether ABC’s #TheView violated the commission’s equal-time rule, which guarantees equal airtime to all candidates running for the same public office. #ABC has maintained that “The View” qualifies as what the commission calls a “bona fide” news program & is exempt from the rule, accusing the FCC of violating the #FirstAmendment in a legal filing.

#NYTimes details million$ of US #TaxDollars spent wastefully in rush to open massive contractor configured 5000 detainee #ICE camp near #ElPaso #Texas.
At least three detainee #deaths have occurred since opening, including one being investigated as a #homicide, not suicide as gov initially said. In February, two dozen members of #Congress wrote a letter to #DHS, asking agency to shut the camp, citing fatalities, sewage problems, poor meals and a lack of detainee legal aid.
In April, ICE itself reported dozens of #violations of national standards at the facility, including instances of illness and improperly documented uses of force.

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
