Garland issues memo limiting Justice from seizing reporter records

News Break By Rebecca Beitsch © Getty Images Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday issued a memo limiting the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) ability to secretly seize the records of journalists following outrage over gag orders sought in the course of leak investigations involving three different media outlets. “The Department of Justice will no longer use compulsory legal process for the purpose of gathering information from or records of members of the news media acting within the scope of newsgathering activities,” Garland wrote in a memo to Justice Department leadership and federal prosecutors. The new policy is similar to a commitment made by DOJ in June after it was revealed the Trump administration subpoenaed records from various communications companies and sought to block them from alerting reporters at CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post.

New US policy won t compel journalists to reveal sources

Daily Times July 20, 2021 The US government pledged Monday to steer clear of legal orders that force journalists to reveal their sources, with only rare exceptions, reversing course after revelations of secret efforts to obtain information from the media. A statement from the agency said it would no longer use the “compulsory legal process” including subpoenas or warrants to obtain records or identify sources from journalists involved in newsgathering activities. The new policy comes following revelations that former president Donald Trump’s Justice Department secretly obtained phone records of journalists investigating his administration, including from CNN, the Washington Post and New York Times.

Biden s DOJ will STOP gathering phone records from reporters Associated Press and Nikki Schwab, Senior U.S. Political Reporter For Dailymail.com © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday formally prohibited federal prosecutors from seizing the records of journalists in leak investigations, with limited exceptions, reversing years of department policy. The new policy largely codifies the commitment Garland made in June, when he said the Justice Department would abandon the practice of seizing reporters records in leak investigations. It aims to resolve a politically thorny issue that has long vexed Justice Department prosecutors trying to weigh the media s First Amendment rights against government s desire to protect classified information.
