Grassley urged to back PRESS Act for journalist protections
The PRESS Act returns to the Senate after failing in 2022. Grassley is pressed to advance it amid long advocacy by First Amendment groups. The measure would bar federal agents and judges from forcing journalists to reveal sources and from spying on reporters, with limited terrorism exceptions. House passage occurred twice despite Cotton objections.
