The US Department of Justice told some reporters they must give information. Later, the government changed its mind and stopped these orders.

美國司法部告知部分記者必須提供資訊。隨後，政府改變主意並停止了這些命令。

The government wanted information from reporters at The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. They wanted to know about Iran. The reporters did not want to talk. They went to court to fight the orders.

政府希望從《華盛頓郵報》和《華爾街日報》的記者那裡獲取資訊。他們想了解關於伊朗的情況。記者們不願透露，因此向法院提起訴訟以對抗這些命令。

The news companies were angry. They said the government was breaking the law. They said the government wanted to use reporters like police officers. This is not allowed in the US.

新聞公司感到憤怒。他們表示政府違反了法律，並指稱政府企圖將記者當作警察使用，而這在美國是不允許的。

Other people are also worried. The government sometimes searches the homes of reporters. They also stop reporters from entering government buildings. This makes it hard for journalists to do their work.

其他人也感到擔憂。政府有時會搜查記者的住所，還會阻止記者進入政府大樓。這使得記者很難地履行其工作。

The government stopped the orders. We do not know why the government started the investigation.

政府停止了這些命令。我們不知道政府為何啟動這次調查。

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。

The United States Department of Justice recently withdrew grand jury subpoenas issued to reporters from The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal after the news organizations initiated legal challenges.

美國司法部在新聞機構採取法律挑戰後，最近撤回了先前發給《華盛頓郵報》和《華爾街日報》記者的超級陪審團傳票。

The Department of Justice (DOJ) sought to compel testimony from journalists specializing in national security, including Ellen Nakashima of The Washington Post and three unidentified reporters from The Wall Street Journal. These subpoenas were issued under the auspices of national security investigations, with specific references made to reporting on the conflict involving Iran. The legal proceedings took place within the Eastern District of Virginia under seal, and the DOJ subsequently rescinded the demands without providing a formal explanation. No journalists testified before the grand jury.

司法部 (DOJ) 試圖強迫專精於國家安全的記者提供證詞，包括《華盛頓郵報》的 Ellen Nakashima 以及三名未具名的《華爾街日報》記者。這些傳票是在國家安全調查的名義下發出的，並特別提及關於伊朗衝突的報導。法律程序在維吉尼亞州東區法院封存進行，隨後司法部在未提供正式解釋的情況下撤回了要求。沒有記者在超級陪審團面前作證。

Institutional responses from the affected media entities characterized the DOJ's actions as an infringement upon First Amendment protections. A spokesperson for The Washington Post described the subpoenas as an attempt to transform journalists into investigative instruments of the state. Similarly, Dow Jones, the parent company of The Wall Street Journal, categorized the effort as an attack on constitutionally protected newsgathering. These events occur within a broader context of executive branch pressure on the press, which has included the execution of search warrants on journalists' residences, the restriction of access to Pentagon workspaces, and the initiation of various lawsuits against media publishers.

受影響媒體實體的機構回應將司法部的行為定格為對第一修正案保障的侵害。《華盛頓郵報》的一位發言人將這些傳票描述為企圖將記者轉化為國家的調查工具。同樣地，《華爾街日報》的母公司道瓊斯將此舉定義為對憲法保障的新聞採集行為的攻擊。這些事件發生在行政部門向新聞界施壓的更廣泛背景下，其中包括對記者住所執行搜索令、限制進入五角大廈工作空間，以及對媒體出版商發起各種訴訟。

External analysis from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press suggests that the pursuit of grand jury testimony represents a more significant intrusion into the journalistic process than requests for documentation. Such measures are interpreted as an escalation of administrative efforts to target reporting critical of the current executive leadership.

新聞自由記者委員會的外部分析指出，追求超級陪審團證詞比起要求提供文件，代表對新聞過程更嚴重的干預。此類措施被解釋為行政部門企圖針對批評現任行政領導層之報導而採取的升級行動。

The DOJ has reversed its attempt to compel journalist testimony, though the specific nature of the underlying national security investigations remains undisclosed.

司法部已撤回強迫記者提供證詞的嘗試，儘管底層國家安全調查的具體性質仍未披露。
