(Gerald Martineau\/The Washington Post)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The Justice Department took the extraordinary step of seeking to force reporters for The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal to testify before a federal grand jury \u2014 but withdrew the subpoenas earlier this month after they were challenged by the news organizations, according to a Justice Department official familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The grand jury subpoena to Washington Post reporter Ellen Nakashima this spring was related to sensitive reporting about a national security matter, the person said. The Justice Department also issued subpoenas to appear before a grand jury to three Wall Street Journal journalists, who also reported on national security issues.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post was fighting the demand in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia in sealed proceedings when the government rescinded Nakashima\u2019s subpoena, according to the official familiar with the matter. The Justice Department also withdrew the Wall Street Journal subpoenas, which the news organization had challenged in the same federal court, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss proceedings that are not public.<b> <\/b>None of the journalists testified before the grand jury, the official said.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose and scope of the investigations that triggered the subpoenas are not clear, but the person familiar said they relate to national security matters. While the journalists are no longer scheduled to appear before a grand jury, the Justice Department\u2019s action reflected a new front in the Trump administration\u2019s aggressive tactics toward the media as it attempts to crack down on government leaks to the press and content that administration officials think is unfair to the president.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/01\/14\/washington-post-reporter-search\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/01\/14\/washington-post-reporter-search\/\">in January raided a Post reporter\u2019s home<\/a> as part of a criminal investigation of a government contractor who<b> <\/b>had already been<b> <\/b>charged with leaking sensitive national security information.

She is a veteran national security reporter who, during the Trump administration, has reported on the country\u2019s most powerful intelligence officials, the Iran conflict and deadly U.S. military strikes on boats that officials alleged carried illegal drugs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unwarranted subpoena of our reporter Ellen Nakashima \u2014 a clear violation of constitutionally guaranteed press freedom \u2014 was another sign of the government seeking to compel journalists to become instruments of its investigations,\u201d a spokesperson for The Post said in a statement. \u201cWe will continue to stand fully behind the journalism of The Washington Post and fight all efforts by any administration that violate our First Amendment rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/national-security\/trumps-complaints-about-iran-war-leaks-prompt-aggressive-doj-investigations-b5d31c13?mod=hp_lead_pos3\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/national-security\/trumps-complaints-about-iran-war-leaks-prompt-aggressive-doj-investigations-b5d31c13?mod=hp_lead_pos3\">reported in May<\/a> that the Justice Department had issued subpoenas to reporters seeking documents related to the paper\u2019s coverage of the conflict in Iran. The outlet did not report at the time that its reporters were also called to testify before a grand jury.<\/p>\n<p>In the May Journal article, Ashok Sinha, the chief communications officer of Dow Jones, which publishes the Journal, said the subpoenas \u201crepresent an attack on constitutionally protected newsgathering\u201d and vowed that the institution would \u201cvigorously oppose this effort to stifle and intimidate essential reporting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was not immediately clear why Justice Department prosecutors withdrew the subpoena to Nakashima. The Post had asked the court to quash it, and a judge in the Eastern District of Virginia held a closed hearing on the matter, according to the official.<\/p>\n<p>The judge had not ruled on The Post\u2019s motion at the time the Justice Department rescinded the subpoena to Nakashima.<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal has also sought to quash the subpoenas to its reporters, according to the Justice Department official.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=4837\">World Cup what to know: Cristiano Ronaldo aiming to get on track after disappointing start<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is extremely rare \u2014 and potentially risky professionally \u2014 for journalists to be forced to testify in front of grand juries.<\/p>\n<p>Most news organizations follow strict ethical guidelines to protect confidential sources. If the appearances had proceeded, prosecutors could have asked the journalists to identify their sources. If the reporters refused, they could have been held in contempt of court or charged with obstruction of justice, according to press freedom experts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce you are up in front of the grand jury, the testimony can go in many different ways and can inquire into stories that are unrelated to the underlying investigation,\u201d said Gabe Rottman, vice president of policy at the advocacy group Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. \u201cThe potential of the government intruding into the newsgathering process is even greater when you are in the grand jury than it is for a subpoena for documents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Historically, it has been rare, though not unprecedented, for federal law enforcement officials to even subpoena journalists for materials around their reporting. Instead, it is far more common for law enforcement officials to find other ways to build cases against government employees believed to be illegally disclosing material.<\/p>\n<p>In the first months of the current Trump administration, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memo  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2025\/04\/25\/justice-leak-investigations-reporters-email-phone-records-bondi\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2025\/04\/25\/justice-leak-investigations-reporters-email-phone-records-bondi\/\">rescinding a Biden-era policy that prevented officials from searching reporters\u2019 phone records<\/a> when trying to identify government personnel who have leaked sensitive information to news organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The internal memo said that the media should not be afforded such protections, noting leaks of government information during the Trump administration. According to the memo, law enforcement would search reporters\u2019 communication records only when other investigative methods had been exhausted. The memo said the attorney general must approve all attempts to question or arrest journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Press freedom activists have lambasted the Trump administration\u2019s aggressive actions against the media, accusing officials of curtailing freedom of speech and chilling journalists\u2019 ability to report on sensitive topics that are in the public interest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe administration has taken a number of extremely aggressive steps in respect to the press,\u201d Rottman said. \u201cThese are all aggressive attempts to target journalists reporting on the actions of the Trump administration. They are a dangerous intrusion of the independence of the press.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The litigation around the subpoenas to The Post and the Wall Street Journal reporters is under seal, meaning the public cannot access it. Media outlets \u2014 or other parties, including advocacy groups \u2014 could request that the judge unseal the records to make the contents of the fight public.<\/p>\n<p>The cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/national\/2004\/11\/18\/grand-jury-subpoena-stands-for-time-magazine-reporter\/1e00c80b-a9e3-42cb-aa61-1a8001fc7775\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/national\/2004\/11\/18\/grand-jury-subpoena-stands-for-time-magazine-reporter\/1e00c80b-a9e3-42cb-aa61-1a8001fc7775\/\">Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/politics\/2005\/10\/01\/freed-writer-testifies-in-cia-leak-probe\/fb48ab92-2f11-429f-92f2-6f7f6b761e6a\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/politics\/2005\/10\/01\/freed-writer-testifies-in-cia-leak-probe\/fb48ab92-2f11-429f-92f2-6f7f6b761e6a\/\">New York Times reporter Judith Miller<\/a> are the most prominent examples in recent history of the Justice Department demanding that journalists appear before a grand jury.
