Journalists in Jail

The pause was eight seconds long, and it included an “ummm.” But the question from Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) to attorney general nominee William P. Barr was unequivocal: “If you’re confirmed, will the Justice Department jail reporters for doing their jobs?” asked Klobuchar, noting that her dad was a journalist and citing the case of Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed by the Saudi regime last year.
Once Barr got around to answering the question, he said, “I think that, you know, I know there are guidelines in place. And I can conceive of situations where, you know, as a last resort and where a news organization has run through a red flag or something like that, knows that they’re putting out stuff that will hurt the country — there could be a situation where someone could be held in contempt."
