The Justice Department, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, has announced a renewed crackdown on information leaks to the media. This move rescinds protections established under the Biden administration that limited the government's ability to secretly seize journalists' phone records. The new policy permits federal prosecutors to use subpoenas and warrants to investigate government officials leaking sensitive information. Although the press is entitled to advance notice of such actions, the regulations emphasize protecting the government's interests and preventing unauthorized disclosures deemed harmful to public policy and safety.
The Justice Department will not tolerate unauthorized disclosures that undermine President Trump's policies, victimize government agencies, and cause harm to the American people.
Members of the press are presumptively entitled to advance notice of such investigative activities, with subpoenas to be narrowly drawn.
