Washington – The Department of Justice is taking energetic measures against information leaks to the media, with Attorney General Pam Bondi saying that prosecutors will once have to use citations, judicial orders and search warrants to Huntiemalieke “Tootalisturgem
The new regulations announced by Bondi in a memorandum to personnel obeyed by Associated Press on Friday rescind a Biden administration policy that protected journalists that their telephone records have their telephone records secretly, daring to leaks and practice investigations and practice a long time ago, described to diiscriado denegado to divered denified denifrado denifrado denifrado denifrado denifrado denered denerado de Diiscriado denigrated to diisciengrado to diiscriedad to diiscrien denifrado planned denigrated to diisiisibuido to diiscrii diestriisribrado to diiscrii diestriisibrado to diiscrien denirribuido foreseen Deniuriisibuido.
The new regulations claim that news organizations must respond to the citations “when they are authorized at the appropriate level of the Department of Justice” and also allow prosecutors to use judicial orders and guarantees to search for the media. And testimony, testimony and testimony “” “” “
The memorandum says that the members of the press have “right to advance in the warning of such research activities”, and the citations must be “extracted.”
Arrest orders must also include “protocols designed to limit the scope of intrusion into potentially protected materials or news collection activities,” says the Memo.
“The Department of Justice will not tolure unauthorized disseminations that undermine President Trump’s policies, will victorize government agencies and cause harm to the US people,” Bondi wrote.
According to the new policy, before deciding to use the introductory tactics against the media, the Attorney General is to assess whether there is a reasonable basic to believe that a crime has been committed and that the information that the government is needed for the prediction.
In addition, decide whether prosecutors have first made reasonable attempts to “obtain information from alternative sources” and if the government has “first followed negotiations with the affected member of the media.”
The regulations occur when the Trump administration has complained about a series of news that have removed the curtain about the internal decision, intelligence evaluations and activities of prominent officials such as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseeth.
Tulsi Gabbard, director of National Intelligence, said this week that she was doing a trio of “criminal” references to the Department of Justice About the intelligence community is filtered to the media.
Policy change also occurs in the midst of continuous scrutiny of the highest levels of the Trump administration over its own failures in the protection of confidential information.
National Security Advisor Michael Waltz was revealed last month to have inadcentally added a journalist to a group text using the signal encrypted message service, where the senior officials discussed plans to attack the Hutíes.
Hegseeth has faced his own revelation drum about its use of the signal, Including a chat that included his wife and brother, among others.
In a statement, Bruce Brown, the Reporteros Committee for the Freedom of the Press, said in a statement that “strong protections for journalists serve the American public by safeguarding the free flow of information.”
“Some of the most consistent reports in the history of the United States, from Watergate to Wiretapping without guarantee after September 11, were and continue to be possible because reporters have been able to protect identities from confidential sources and inform important stories.
The policy that Bondi is rescuing was created by the then folding General Merrick Garland following the revelations that the officials of the Department of Justice alerted the journalists in three news organizations, the Washington Post, CNN and the times of the New York Times, his or his or his or his or his or his or his or his their Administration
Garland’s new regulations marked a surprising reversal of a practice of the seizures of the telephone records that had persisted in multiple presidential administrations.
The Obama Department of Justice, under the then Atorner General Eric Holder, He alerted Associated Press in 2013 That he had secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors in what the maximum executive of the News cooperative called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” in news collection activities.
After the recoil, Holder announced a revised set of guidelines for leakage investigations, including the authorization of the highest levels of the department before citations could be issued for media records.
But the department retained its prerogative to confiscate journalists’ records, and recent revelations to media organizations show that the practice continued in Trump’s department of justice as part of multiple investigations.
