'This U.S. Attorney's office in Washington has a history of just steamrolling the First Amendment,' New York Times reporter Matt Apuzzo said on CBSN Monday.
New York Times reporters had their phone records secretly seized by the Trump administration. But while similar reports from CNN and the Washington Post are seemingly uncovering the extent to which former President Trump used the administration to keep tabs on journalists, one of the four journalists says the moves are part of a "bipartisan pattern."
Apuzzo still doesn't know what the Justice Department was looking for, but believes it is related to a story on decisions made by James Comey in 2016. He pointed to past administrations across both parties using classified information leaks as an excuse to seize journalists' records — which he dismissed as a "red herring."
