Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday defended issuing subpoenas to journalists as part of investigations into leaks of classified information.
Blanche did not identify any specific media outlets targeted by the subpoenas. The defense of the controversial practice marks an escalation in the Justice Department's approach to press scrutiny.
Press freedom advocates have criticised such subpoenas as potentially chilling investigative journalism and violating reporter protections.
