"The return of former President Donald Trump to the White House presents a distinct threat to whistleblowers and freedom of the press, and President Joe Biden and Democrats bear some responsibility.

As previously noted by Chip Gibbons, the policy director for Defending Rights and Dissent, the Heritage Foundation and around 140 individuals with ties to Trump developed an agenda for the next Trump administration known as Project 2025. It calls for the United States Justice Department (DOJ) to “use all of the tools at its disposal to investigate leaks.”

To facilitate this crackdown on whistleblowers or media sources, Project 2025 additionally urges the DOJ to repeal guidelines that were adopted under Attorney General Merrick Garland to limit “law enforcement” access to journalists’ communications. It also demands the hiring of “additional counterintelligence and security personnel” to help the FBI and other agencies prosecute those who communicate with reporters."
