Trump Administration Investigates Leaks on Qatari-Gifted Plane Security
The Trump administration has intensified its investigation into leaks about security concerns involving a Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar for presidential use. White House officials, including those who traveled with President Trump, were asked to hand over their personal mobile phones to help identify the source of sensitive information reported by journalists. The Justice Department issued subpoenas to reporters, who have challenged them in court. Officials emphasize the probe targets leak sources, not the journalists themselves.
