Eric Schmitt, national security reporter for The New York Times and Gabe Rottman, vice president of policy at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press
In July, the Trump administration subpoenaed several New York Times reporters following their reporting on security concerns surrounding a Boeing 747 given to the President by the Qatari government. The Justice Department later withdrew the subpoenas.
Join Eric Schmitt of The New York Times and Gabe Rottman of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press for a conversation about government pressure on journalists and why the public should care about threats to journalists reporting on those in power.
