Justice Dept Targets NYT Freelancer | Cork News
Description
The Justice Department is subpoenaing New York Times freelancer Matthew Cole for two years of his notes and testimony tied to a 2019 story about alleged Navy SEAL killings of unarmed North Koreans — a report based on 24 anonymous sources. The Times stands firmly behind Cole, covering his legal fees as he defiantly rejects what his lawyer calls a “brazen and illegal attack” aimed at silencing inconvenient journalism. With the government vowing to pursue all legal avenues to protect classified info, this clash underscores the high-stakes tension between national security and press freedom.
