Maggie Haberman: Sending Federal Agents to Reporters’ Homes Is ‘Very Clearly Intimidation’

‘Trump obviously is doing it again with vigor‘

RUSH EXCERPT:

HABERMAN: “Yeah. So the thing that’s remarkable about these subpoenas, Joe, and, you know, we know this. We’ve discussed this before. There are other presidents who have subpoenaed journalists. You know, the Biden Administration actually stopped doing that. And Trump obviously is doing it again with vigor. And this has been related to his bullying campaigns of various industries that we do get into in depth in the book. In this case, the subpoenas were not a last resort, which is typically what they’re supposed to do when there is an alleged leak hunt. They are. This time it came within 48 hours of the first story being published, and less than that of the one about his plane not being fully equipped. The way the current air force, real air force ones are the ones that were commissioned by the military. You are correct. This was something that was quite known in Washington. It was not a surprise."
