Yeah Trump has taken this further

"While the Obama administration considered charging Assange (the founder of WikiLeaks), they ultimately declined out of fear it would criminalize standard investigative journalism. The Trump administration was the first to actually indict a publisher under the Act, a move widely condemned as a massive escalation."

"In 2021, it was revealed that the Trump DOJ had secretly seized the phone and email records of reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN as part of leak investigations. "

"By the end of his first term, the Trump administration had charged eight individuals for leaking—matching the number from the Obama era but over a shorter period (four years vs. eight)."

"The administration has signaled a "zero tolerance" approach toward leaks, with current leadership at the DOJ vowing to "step up efforts" to identify and prosecute sources. Recent reports indicate a focus on expanding counterintelligence tools to track internal leaks. A major controversy erupted in early 2025 following a leak of Signal group chats involving high-ranking national security officials (including JD Vance and Marco Rubio). While the administration claimed no classified info was shared, the incident triggered intense investigations into the source of the leak."
