The Department of Justice said Saturday it will no longer seize reporters' records when investigating leaks.
The announcement was made weeks after The Washington Post, CNN and The New York Times received notification that the Justice Department had secretly obtained reporters' phone and email records during the early months of the Trump administration. The pledge marks an overhaul of a longstanding practice that has persisted across presidential administrations, including under former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. Justice Department spokesperson Anthony Coley announced the change Saturday, noting it is "consistent" with direction from President Joe Biden.Sean "Diddy" Combs on Sunday apologized in a social media post after security video aired by CNN that appears to show him attacking singer Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016.
