Amid recent revelations of the Trump administration’s efforts to obtain the communications records of reporters from CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, the new DOJ documents reveal the most complete picture yet assembled of a leak-hunting effort that dwarfs those of previous administrations. In the recently revealed cases, gag orders prevented news executives and tech companies from revealing the secret subpoenas. In May, President Joe Biden announced that he would not permit the seizure of reporters’ records, apparently unaware that his own Justice Department was attempting to do just that and had obtained a gag order against the New York Times. After it was lifted, the Biden White House claimed that it knew nothing about the Times gag order, and the Justice Department soon announced a new policy regarding reporters in leak investigations.

Terri Senecal co-owns the Sacchetti Music shop in Huntingtown, Maryland. Like so many small business owners, she has struggled to stay open through the pandemic. It s been horrible, Senecal said. I don t want to close the store and put 14 people on unemployment.

She went for it.
Weeks later the SBA rejected her application with a weird explanation. The agency told her one reason she didnât qualify was she had failed to pay child support.
