The DOJ and Threats to the Press
Eric Schmitt, national security reporter for The New York Times and Gabe Rottman, vice president of policy at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press
In July, the Department of Justice subpoenaed several New York Times reporters after they reported on security concerns about a Boeing 747 the Qatari government gave to President Trump. The DOJ later withdrew the subpoenas after a federal judge questioned its approach.
Join Eric Schmitt of The New York Times and Gabe Rottman of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press for a conversation about government pressure on journalists and why the public should care about threats to journalists reporting on those in power.
