The Times argues the subpoenas are “bad faith” and unconstitutional, while the Justice Department insists reporters are “material witnesses” in leak investigations, balancing national security with the public’s right to know. This high-stakes legal battle could reshape how future leak cases involving the media are handled. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
