Attorney General Pam Bondi has rescinded a Biden-era directive, permitting the Justice Department to access reporters' communications via subpoenas to investigate leaks concerning sensitive information. This decision aims to bolster efforts against leaking to strive for the integrity of Trump administration policies, as outlined in an internal memo. The memo states that unauthorized disclosures by federal employees can lead to legal repercussions, highlighting Bondi's approval as necessary for any measures against journalists. Overall, the memo represents a shift in the DOJ's approach toward press freedom and government transparency.
This Justice Department will not tolerate unauthorized disclosures that undermine President Trump's policies, victimize government agencies, and cause harm to the American people.
Federal government employees intentionally leaking sensitive information to the media undermines the ability of the Department of Justice to uphold the rule of law, protect civil rights, and keep America safe.
