"Senate GOP Blocks Bill To Protect Journalists After Trump Opposes It"

"WASHINGTON -- Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked an effort by Democrats to pass a bipartisan bill that would give journalists greater protections under federal law – a move that comes in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump opposing the measure.

Trump called on Republicans to “kill this bill” in a Truth Social post last month.

Known as the PRESS Act, the Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act would prevent the government from forcing journalists to reveal their sources and limit the seizure of their data without their knowledge. The bill passed the GOP-controlled House earlier this year. "
