Breaking WaPo: The Trump 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 — but withdrew the subpoenas after they were challenged by the news organizations.

Headline: Trump DOJ subpoenas of Tim Walz and other Democrats are unconstitutional Judge says.

NEW: Does DOJ even know how to issue subpoenas for a proper purpose these days? Judge Patrick Schiltz quashed federal grand jury subpoenas issued against Minnesota officials. The move echoes the quashed Federal Reserve and trans care subpoenas. Today, at Law Dork:

Schiltz, a President George W. Bush appointee, threw out Trump DOJ grand jury subpoenas aimed at Walz from January, finding in a ruling unsealed Monday that there was “no doubt” that the subpoenas were issued to retaliate against Walz. wherethingsstand.talkingpointsmemo.com/p/judge-thro...

I woke up at 3 a.m. to talk on @npr.org's Morning Edition/Up First podcast about the federal judge's quashing of DOJ subpoenas for Walz, Ellison, etc. Judge said DOJ used subpoenas to coerce & retaliate against officials who didn't cooperate on federal immigration policy. one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5867...

"Even the threat of compelled testimony can chill reporting, deter whistleblowers and make it harder for the public to learn information that powerful institutions would prefer remain hidden,” the National Press Club says about Trump's DOJ attempting to subpoena NYT and WaPo reporters.

Great @chrisgeidner.bsky.social report and an important example of shutting down improper DOJ efforts to use the criminal justice system to do the President's bidding. There are many similar subpoenas "not issued to investigate, but to harass, coerce, and retaliate.” They, too, should be quashed.

With a sternly worded rebuke, a federal judge tossed out grand jury subpoenas sought by the DOJ for records from the offices of Gov. Walz, AG Keith Ellison & other top Twin Cities leaders related to immigration. He found the subpoenas issued in January to be baseless, unethical & possibly illegal.
