The PRESS Act Trump opposes: Reporter protections or security risk?

President-elect Donald Trump is urging Republicans to block a bill designed to protect journalists from government surveillance. The legislation, known as the PRESS Act, would be the first federal law to shield reporters from being forced to disclose their confidential sources.

While the bill has received bipartisan support, it faces opposition from some prominent Republicans, including Trump himself. In a post on Truth Social, Trump responded to a PBS News report on the PRESS Act, stating that Republicans “must kill this bill.”
