Rumley Was Hiding Some Things...so was Trump
Trump Injustice Department sought phone records of Washington Post reporters “We are deeply troubled by this use of government power to seek access to the communications of journalists," the paper's acting editor said.
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department confirmed Friday that it sought the phone records of three Washington Post reporters for calls they made during three months in 2017 while reporting on Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election.
According to the Post, which was first to report the news, Post reporters Ellen Nakashima and Greg Miller, along with Adam Entous, who no longer works for the paper, were notified in letters dated May 3 that the government sought court orders to access information on calls between April 15, 2017, and July 31, 2017.
The paper said toward the end of that time period, the three wrote a story about classified U.S. intelligence intercepts indicating then-Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., talked about the Trump campaign in 2016 with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/trump-justice-department-sought-phone-records-washington-post-reporters-n1266733
