The United States Department of Justice recently cancelled grand jury subpoenas sent to reporters from The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal after the news companies started legal challenges.

美國司法部在相關新聞公司採取法律挑戰後，最近取消了發給《華盛頓郵報》與《華爾街日報》記者的特種大陪審團傳喚令。

The Department of Justice (DOJ) tried to force testimony from journalists who cover national security, including Ellen Nakashima of The Washington Post and three other reporters from The Wall Street Journal. These orders were issued as part of national security investigations, specifically regarding reports on the conflict with Iran. The legal process happened in the Eastern District of Virginia in secret, and the DOJ eventually withdrew the demands without giving a formal reason. Consequently, no journalists had to testify before the grand jury.

司法部（DOJ）試圖強迫報導國家安全的記者出庭作證，包括《華盛頓郵報》的 Ellen Nakashima 以及另外三名來自《華爾街日報》的記者。這些指令是國家安全調查的一部分，特別是關於伊朗衝突的報導。法律程序是在維吉尼亞州東區法院秘密進行的，司法部最終在未提供正式理由的情況下撤回了要求。因此，沒有記者需要在大陪審團面前作證。

Both media organizations emphasized that the DOJ's actions violated First Amendment protections. A spokesperson for The Washington Post asserted that the subpoenas were an attempt to turn journalists into tools for government investigations. Similarly, Dow Jones, the parent company of The Wall Street Journal, described the move as an attack on the legal right to gather news. Furthermore, these events are part of a larger pattern of pressure on the press, which has included search warrants at journalists' homes and restricted access to government offices.

兩家媒體機構均強調，司法部的行為違反了憲法第一修正案的保障。《華盛頓郵報》的發言人堅稱，這些傳喚令是企圖將記者變成政府調查的工具。同樣地，《華爾街日報》的母公司道瓊斯將此舉描述為對合法採訪新聞權利的攻擊。此外，這些事件是一個更大規模壓制新聞自由模式的一部分，其中包括對記者住所發出搜查令，以及限制進入政府辦公室。

Experts from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press suggest that forcing journalists to testify is a more serious intrusion than simply asking for documents. They argue that such measures show an increase in government efforts to target reporting that is critical of the current leadership.

新聞自由記者委員會（Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press）的專家指出，強迫記者作證比單純要求提供文件是更嚴重的侵犯。他們認為，這類措施顯示政府正加大力度針對那些對現任領導層持批評態度的報導。

The DOJ has stopped its attempt to force journalists to testify, although the specific details of the national security investigations have not been revealed.

司法部已停止強迫記者作證，不過國家安全調查的具體細節尚未公開。
