Trump Administration Escalates Fight With Media Over Air Force One Security Report

Four New York Times journalists who reported on security concerns surrounding a Qatari-gifted jet serving as the new Air Force One have been subpoenaed by the Justice Department, the news outlet reported Friday.The journalists –– Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager and Eric Schmitt –– have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan next week, according to the Times, which noted federal agents delivered some of the subpoenas to reporters’ homes.Times attorney David McCraw condemned the move in a statement included in the outlet’s report Friday.“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,” McCraw said.CNN has reached out to The White House, the US attorney in Manhattan’s office and The New York Times.The subpoenas came after the Times reported Wednesday that President Donald Trump left Turkey this week on the old Air Force One over security concerns from the Secret Service. CNN reported Thursday that security personnel felt more comfortable with the president aboard the older vessel — which was built from scratch with Trump’s safety in mind — rather than the plane that had recently been retrofitted after it was donated by Qatar.The Times reported a senior FBI official contacted them to request that the Wednesday story not be published over a national security issue, but the official declined to say what the issue was. The subpoenas issued Friday also lack detail, the Times reported, saying the journalists are being asked to testify “in regard to an alleged violation of criminal law.”The outlet said the subpoenas were issued by Southern District of New York US Attorney Jay Clayton, who was nominated by Trump last month to be the next director of national security.

Spain Edge Belgium With Late Goal, Book Semifinals Clash With France

Spain will now go on to face Didier Deschamps' France - arguably the tournament's standout performer so far - in Dallas in the semifinals on Tuesday.Spain's Mikel Merino pounced on a spilled save to snatch a late win against Belgium on Friday, as Luis de la Fuente's side advanced to the World Cup semifinals.Spain had taken the lead in the 30th minute when Fabián Ruiz slotted home a rebound following a save from Belgian keeper Thibaut Courtois.La Roja continued to threaten in the first half, particularly through Barcelona's Lamine Yamal down the right flank, who cut inside and saw a chance flash wide of the post shortly after.But Belgium pulled a goal back around 11 minutes later with a Charles De Ketelaere header, marking the first goal Spain have conceded at the tournament, and the two teams went into halftime tied at 1-1.De la Fuente opted for changes early in the second half, bringing on Pedri and Ferran Torres to inject some freshness into the lineup, but the Spanish side seemed to lack a final gear.There was late drama left in the game, however.Real Madrid shot stopper Courtois departed the pitch with an injury in the 71st minute, with Senne Lammens coming on to replace him. As the match looked set to be heading to extra time, Lammens failed to hold a Pau Cubarsí shot from outside the box, with Merino firing the loose ball past the Manchester United keeper to make it 2-1 and seal the victory.Spain will now go on to face Didier Deschamps' France - arguably the tournament's standout performer so far - in Dallas in the semifinals on Tuesday.They would play either England, Norway, Argentina, or Switzerland should they make it to the final. England take on Norway in Miami on Saturday before Lionel Messi's Argentina face Switzerland in Kansas City.

Samy Gemayel to Hezbollah: We will not coexist with you

The head of the Kataeb Party, MP Samy Gemayel, stressed that “Hezbollah keeping its weapons is the first and last obstacle to Lebanon returning to the path of recovery. The land will not be liberated, the displaced will not return, and we will not live in peace as long as there are militias on our territory.”Gemayel emphasized, in a press conference, that “Iran is trying to salvage what remains of Hezbollah’s military forces in order to use them again whenever needed and whenever Iran is in danger,” noting that “Lebanon contributed ten times more in the war than Iran did, as confirmed by Qalibaf,” adding: “Let’s calm down,” out of respect for displaced people and civilian martyrs, and “tone down the meaningless talk.”He considered that “the Lebanese state must show the world that there is a state that speaks and acts, and it is time for the Lebanese army to implement decisions. There are no more excuses,” explaining that “we will not coexist with Hezbollah regardless of the outcome of negotiations, and they must abide by the state’s conditions, as most Lebanese are not prepared to live hostage to Hezbollah.”He concluded: “We promise you this will be the ‘end of sorrows,’ and we will live in peace and security. We will not accept going backwards, and we remain committed to our land. We will not live in a country of wars, blood, and killing.”
