Trump pressures DOJ to subpoena reporters over Iran leaks, sources say

TL;DR Summary
President Trump personally pushed the DOJ to issue subpoenas to reporters covering Iran-war leaks, delivering a stack of articles topped with a Sharpie-labeled 'Treason' note to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The DOJ issued several subpoenas, including to The Wall Street Journal, with officials saying the aim is to identify leakers, not punish journalists. The move follows policy changes by former Attorney General Pam Bondi that loosened restrictions on obtaining reporters’ records, marking one of the administration’s most aggressive leaks investigations to date.
