Justice Department says it will resume practice of obtaining reporters’ records in leak inquiries

  • The Justice Department will now allow investigators to pursue communications from media outlets in leak investigations, overturning previous protections under the Biden administration.
  • Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the previous administration gave media outlets too much protection, asserting, "This Justice Department will not tolerate unauthorized disclosures that undermine President Trump’s policies".
  • New regulations allow prosecutors to subpoena news organizations and compel journalists to testify about their sources, while emphasizing that subpoenas must be "narrowly drawn" and warrants must include "protocols designed to limit the scope of intrusion into potentially protected materials or newsgathering activities".
  • This policy shift comes amid complaints from the Trump administration about news stories revealing sensitive internal information.
