Publisher of The Washington Post, Fred Ryan, slammed the Biden Justice Department for its outright assault on American news organizations. Ryan says that Biden has expanded previous attempts by the previous administration to issue subpoenas for reporters’ email logs.

According to The Daily Wire:

Fred Ryan wrote in his paper Sunday evening that the Biden Justice department not only kept pursuing Trump-era battles against reporters and outlets, but expanded them. Earlier this year, the Biden DOJ won a judge’s approval for a gag order against The New York Times, preventing the newspaper from publicly revealing its legal battle with the federal government over its reporters’ records.

Ryan also said The Washington Post has yet to hear back from the Biden DOJ on subpoenas submitted under former President Donald Trump for the records of several Post reporters.

“To date, no answers have been provided and the meeting has yet to take place. This delay is troubling,” Ryan wrote. “When asked about how the president’s assurances can be squared with his Justice Department’s behavior, White House press secretary Jen Psaki could offer no explanation. She subsequently released a statement disavowing White House knowledge of the actions that appear to have continued for several months during Biden’s presidency.”

Biden’s apparent war on the press comes after he publicly disavowed Trump for seeking to subpoena reporters’ records, calling it “simply, simply wrong.”

Ryan called out the hypocrisy of the Biden administration for shaming Trump and then not only continuing down the same path but expanding the battle against reporters.
