Recently, security concerns about a jet donated by Qatar have attracted attention. The New York Times highlighted these issues, prompting the FBI to investigate the matter. This investigation involves interviews with individuals who traveled with President Trump on the aircraft to Turkey. The agency is also requesting access to some passengers’ phones.
The FBI’s interest includes personnel from the U.S. Secret Service who were present during the journey. They have been advised to direct inquiries to legal representatives. This directive reflects the sensitive nature of the investigation.
The request for information from government officials follows subpoenas served to several Times journalists by the administration. These require the journalists’ testimonies before a Manhattan grand jury. The news outlet has criticized the action, viewing it as an intimidation tactic.
Leading the investigation are Kash Patel, FBI Director, and Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff. Their focus is on identifying sources who disclosed details about security risks relating to the new Air Force One, recently discussed in Times pieces.
