Trump Urges GOP to Block Bipartisan Press Freedom Bill
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump has urged Republicans to block the PRESS Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at protecting journalists from federal surveillance and safeguarding their sources. Despite previously advocating for a "free, fair, and open media," Trump's recent statements and actions suggest a desire to limit press freedom, particularly against media outlets critical of him. The PRESS Act, which passed the House with bipartisan support, has stalled in the Senate. Trump's rhetoric includes threats against media licenses and promises of retaliation against liberal media if he returns to power.
