After the FBI asked the press not to publish, The New York Times leaked classified details about Air Force One’s self-defense capabilities as tensions with Iran and threats against the President intensified. The Department of Justice then subpoenaed the article’s four authors to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on July 15, with subpoenas issued by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, whom President Trump has nominated as Director of National Intelligence. The episode argues the deeper issue is why such leaks occur, framing a historical pattern tied to “impactful” presidents like Lincoln and McKinley and claiming Trump is reviving the Hamiltonian “American System.” It contrasts this with free-market orthodoxy, critiques free trade’s damage to U.S. manufacturing and defense production, and highlights the Pentagon’s $10 million “Build Freedom” investment with Mike Rowe to rebuild skilled trades.

DOJ Subpoenas NY Times Journalists Who Reported National Security Secrets

Tom Fitton

The "news" about FBI Director Kash doing his job in concert with WH colleagues to investigate crimes is latest headline from NYTIMES. The real headline is the NYTMES went ahead and used leaks as excuse to put Trump's life and countless others in danger. The notorious leftist publication reported national security secrets concerning Air Force One security features despite being warned by FBI that such reporting would endanger "national security." How do I know this? Because the NYTIMES confirmed it! It is good NYTIMES reporters were immediately subpoenaed in the leak investigation. Lives are at stake.
Before The Times's first article was published, a senior official at the E.B.I. contacted a reporter and a senior editor to ask that the article be held, calling it an issue of national security. The E.B.I. official declined to explain the security issue. The official also aske The Times to disclose its sources for the article. The newspaper refused to do so.

Generally speaking, CTH is against the Dept of Justice filing warrants and subpoenas against journalists. However, in this case the actions are warranted. If this was the Obama or Biden DOJ taking action against journalists, yes, CTH would support the govt side – on this specific point.

The issue surrounds four journalists for The New York Times who filed a public report that President Trump’s new Airforce One airplane did not have anti-missile defense systems at the time it was used in the trip to the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

Beyond the issue of the reported leak to the media, the FBI requested the NYT not to publish their article as it would compromise the presidential security detail in a designated hostile environment. The NYT refused to withhold their reporting and did so specifically with the intent on compromising the security of a United States President. There is no circumstance where that type of journalistic motive is okay; regardless of who is President.

From the Times perspective, their report reflected an opportunity to cast snark at President Trump’s decision to convert a gifted Airforce One from Qatar. Additionally, the New York Times knew their report would put the lives of those aboard the airplane at risk. The journalists went forward specifically knowing the report could lead to a severe security compromise.
NEW YORK TIMES – The Trump administration issued subpoenas on Friday to several journalists for The New York Times, after the news outlet reported this week on security concerns involving President Trump’s new Qatari-donated Air Force One.

The subpoenas — which seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations.

In some cases, the subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at reporters’ homes.

[…] “Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public’s right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used,” Mr. McCraw wrote. “This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.”

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 Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan. Mr. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by Mr. Trump to serve as director of national intelligence.

[…] The Times reported that the new Air Force One, a Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8, lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft, including antimissile capabilities. Both articles cited sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security issues.

Before the Wednesday article was published, a senior official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted The Times to ask that the article be held, calling it an issue of national security, according to a person familiar with the conversation. The F.B.I. official spoke with a reporter and a senior editor in The Times’s Washington bureau; the official declined to explain the security issue when asked. (A spokesman for The Times, Charlie Stadtlander, confirmed the account.)
There is a point at which severe opposition to the President needs to be moderated in the interests of national security and common sense (decency). There was/is no value in publishing the article at the time it was made public, except to compromise the security of President Trump.

The escalating resistance to President Trump from American media is increasingly, intentionally crossing a line.

The Trump administration is right to take all appropriate measures against such reporting.

He Is on the Run No Longer

… that has been linked to over $1 billion in losses over a 5-year span - on the run since 2021 after FBI Dallas undertook a sweeping, global operation targeting fraudulent identity production operations, counterfeit device factories, transit/cargo theft rings, and more.

The investigation resulted in Anwar ultimately being indicted on charges of conspiracy to transport stolen property, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. While Anwar fled the country after the indictment, thanks to our brilliant partners, CIRG personnel, and more – he is on the run no longer.

We Will Teach the ICC the Full Meaning of American Resolve


The Conservative Treehouse

The core of the issue is how the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been expanding its self-believed power and now seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law system. The ICC is threatening to file charges against U.S. law enforcement who conduct border security operations and deport illegal aliens.

If it is an ideological policy of the ICC they now feel empowered to prosecute and/or arrest American citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty. Recently elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is in full alignment with the intent. Once the NYPD can be replaced with U.N police, things will likely gain forward momentum.

Comrades, if you stop your 12-year-old daughter from removing her breasts, and or transitioning, you run the risk of the ICC sending Interpol officers or U.N blue helmets to arrest you. Similarly, if you refuse to give illegal aliens access to your extra bedroom, a formal ICC complaint could be filed, and the same mechanisms target your home ownership.

His own phone helps place him as the shooter — and we've only seen a glimpse of what it holds, surfaced in a few paragraphs of a search warrant application.

US Central Command, 12-13 July 2026

… drones in combat operations. Last night’s strikes degraded Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial shipping.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) completed a new wave of offensive strikes against Iran, July 12, hitting dozens of targets at multiple locations with precision munitions to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking international shipping flowing through the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM forces struck Iranian military air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats using U.S. fighter aircraft, naval vessels, one-way attack aerial drones, and one-way attack sea drones for the first time.

The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade. Iran does not control it.

U.S. forces are postured and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available to commercial shipping despite Iran’s continued unwarranted aggression, harassment, threats, and

… presidency, he has stood in the gap between danger and the American people, bearing burdens few could imagine.

As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, his willingness every day to endure the highest personal risk in service to our country reflects the same spirit of perseverance and devotion that defined our nation's founders.

May Almighty God continue to watch over and protect him, and bless these United States of America.
