Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday penned a memo noting she would be rescinding former Attorney General Merrick Garland's policies preventing officials from gaining key evidence from members of the media.

Journalists were sheltered during the Biden administration through a policy that defended their news-gathering process. The DOJ at the time stopped secretly seizing reporters’ records to identify sources during leak investigations. Many reporters do not disclose this material to protect a source or maintain a critical relationship.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is revoking a Biden administration Justice Department policy that prevented the DOJ from seeking records and testimony from journalists in investigations surrounding leaks.
