Donald Trump is asking Republicans in the Senate to squash a bill that would protect journalists from being forced to reveal their sources.
The Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act would make a current Department of Justice rule barring prosecutors from compelling the release of journalists' sources into federal law. The bill passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives with unanimous support in January. Currently held up in the Senate, the bill came to Trump's attention after a segment on the act aired on "PBS NewsHour."
