राजनीति · DOJ subpoenas NYT journalists · अभिलेखागारजज की आपत्ति के बाद DOJ ने न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स के रिपोर्टरों पर जारी समन वापस लिएलिखित 7 सितंबर 2026 को 9:22 pm UTC बजेदेखेंप्रतिलेख0:00A newly unsealed legal filing has0:01revealed that the Trump Justice0:03Department secretly subpoenaed the phone0:05records of multiple New York Times0:06journalists and their immediate family0:08members. The aggressive move is part of0:10a widening effort to unmask anonymous0:12sources behind national security leaks.0:14Press freedom groups are calling it an0:16unprecedented assault on the First0:17Amendment.0:19Here's what makes this extraordinary. In0:21the past quarter century, the Justice0:23Department has issued only three0:24subpoenas targeting journalists' phone0:26records. Now, in a single operation,0:29multiple reporters and their family0:30members have been swept up, a scale that0:32press advocates say has no modern0:34precedent. The subpoenas target0:36journalists including Julian Barnes,0:38Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager, Eric Schmitt,0:40and Adam Goldman. Their reporting0:42revealed security flaws in the new Air0:44Force One jet, a Boeing 747 gifted to0:46the United States by Qatar. The DOJ0:49claims it is a routine leak0:50investigation. The New York Times calls0:52it bad faith retaliation. Committee to0:54Protect Journalists CEO Jodie Ginsburg0:56called the subpoenas a new low,0:58comparing the tactics directly to those1:00used by authoritarian regimes. She1:02warned the move threatens the1:03constitutional protections that American1:05journalists have relied on for1:07generations. Federal Judge Arun1:09Subramanian in the Southern District of1:11New York has frozen enforcement of the1:13subpoenas pending a full hearing. That1:15hearing is scheduled for July 23rd. The1:17case now sits at the center of a1:18mounting confrontation between the press1:20and the Trump administration. But this1:22is not an isolated incident. It is part1:24of a broader pattern. Earlier this year,1:26the FBI searched the home of Washington1:29Post reporter Hannah Natanson. And in1:31April of 2025, former Attorney General1:33Pam Bondi rescinded Biden-era1:35protections that had barred prosecutors1:37from seizing journalists' phone records.1:39The safeguards that once shielded the1:41press are being systematically1:42dismantled.1:44The July 23rd hearing will determine1:46whether the subpoenas move forward and1:48whether the Justice Department will be1:49forced to explain on the record why it1:51targeted not just reporters, but their1:53families in the hunt for anonymous1:54sources.लेख पढ़ेंखबर की समयरेखाHeyDexसंक्षिप्त वीडियो ↗
