Trump Urges GOP to Block Press Freedom Protection Bill

President-elect Donald Trump has called on Republicans to block the PRESS Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at protecting journalists from government surveillance and coercion to reveal sources. The bill, which has passed the House twice, faces delays in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Press advocacy groups emphasize the importance of the legislation in safeguarding journalists' rights, especially in a politically polarized environment. Despite Trump's opposition, the bill has support from some conservative figures who argue it protects all journalists and upholds the First Amendment.
