Trump pushed DOJ to subpoena reporters over alleged Iran war leaks, sources say

President Donald Trump allegedly pressured the Justice Department into issuing subpoenas to reporters covering the Iran war to identify and potentially punish their sources. The push was reportedly made in an effort to curb leaks about US military operations in the country. According to officials familiar with the matter, Trump's request was part of a broader effort to combat what he viewed as hostile reporting on his administration. The move has raised concerns over freedom of the press and the potential for journalists to be intimidated into not covering certain stories.
