A Biden-era policy that protected journalists enjoyed bipartisan support. Four years later, Trump's attorney general undid it anyway.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday she is resuming the practice of attempting to seize reporters' phone records in order to smoke out leakers. Why it matters: It is a complete reversal of the policy that former President Biden and former Attorney General Merrick Garland put in place restricting subpoenas of reporters' news-gathering materials.

Federal government employees intentionally leaking sensitive information to the media . . . is illegal and wrong, and it must stop,’ Bondi wrote.
