https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/us/justice-dept-leaks-schiff-inquiry.html

The Justice Department appears interested in the interactions among Bill Pulte, Ed Martin and the “key witness” in the mortgage fraud investigation of Senator Adam Schiff.

On Friday, the US attorney’s office in Southern Florida issued 30 #subpoenas to individuals such former #CIA director #JohnBrennan, & other fmr intelligence officials. Shortly before Executive Assistant United States Attorney Manolo Reboso signed off on the subpoenas, 2 career US attorneys resigned because they “felt like there was something they could not take part in because it would violate their ethical responsibilities,” acc/to MSNBC.

#Encode, a small #AIpolicy #nonprofit, accuses #OpenAI of using #intimidationtactics to undermine #California’s #AIsafetylaw, #SB53. OpenAI allegedly used its legal battle with Elon Musk as a pretext to target critics, including Encode, implying they were funded by Musk. OpenAI’s actions, including #subpoenas and #lobbying efforts, raise concerns about its influence on #AIpolicy and its commitment to its stated mission. https://fortune.com/2025/10/10/a-3-person-policy-non-profit-that-worked-on-californias-ai-safety-law-is-publicly-accusing-openai-of-intimidation-tactics/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The govt’s unprecedented effort to gather this type of info related to #gender #transition #care is having a #ChillingEffect: Since #subpoenas went out, over a dozen #hospitals across the #US have scaled back or ended transition programs for people under 19. Most are in #BlueStates. Parents say they’re scrambling to find #doctors before their children’s prescriptions…run out. Doctors treating young #trans #patients where the care remains #legal fear #federal prosecution on dubious charges.

#law

Acc/to 7 people familiar…, the #subpoenas targeted care for #patients younger than 19 & went to providers in #states that still allow #gender care for #minors, as well as states where it has been banned. The #subpoena, as well as public statements by #PamBondi’s chief of staff, indicate the #FederalGovernment is attempting to build cases against #medical #providers that allege they may have violated #civil & #criminal statutes while providing care that was LEGAL in their states.

#law #Trump

US AG #PamBondi said last month that the #DOJ had issued >20 subpoenas seeking to hold “medical professionals & organizations that *mutilated* children in the service of a *warped ideology*” accountable. It is highly unusual for the nation’s chief law enforcement officer to announce such [il]legal activity. Bondi did not identify who received the #subpoenas, what information the #government sought or what potential law violations it is investigating.

This is a horrific invasion of #privacy & public pillorying of minors!

#Trump admin demand for #trans care info sought addresses, doctors’ notes, texts 
#Legal experts said the #DOJ’s #subpoenas related to #MedicalCare for #transgender patients younger than 19 appear to be unprecedented.

Victory! #NinthCircuit Limits Intrusive #DMCA #Subpoenas

The 9th Circuit upheld an important limitation on Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) subpoenas that other federal courts have recognized for more than 2 decades. The DMCA, a misguided anti-piracy law passed in the late 90’s, created a bevy of powerful tools, ostensibly to help #copyright holders fight online #infringement. Unfortunately, the DMCA’s powerful protections are ripe for abuse by “copyright trolls”

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/08/victory-ninth-circuit-limits-intrusive-dmca-subpoenas

"An appeals court on Friday blocked studios and record labels from using expedited subpoenas to identify internet users suspected of illegally sharing songs, movies and TV shows.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that copyright holders cannot use the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to subpoena internet providers that merely act as conduits for infringing material.

The Motion Picture Association and the Recording Industry Association of America had warned that blocking such subpoenas will hamper efforts to fight digital piracy.
(...)
The 9th Circuit had not previously addressed the issue, but its ruling aligns with decisions from the D.C. Circuit in 2003 and the 8th Circuit in 2005. Since those decisions, copyright holders have largely opted to file lawsuits against John Does before seeking subpoenas to identify the defendants, rather than using the expedited DMCA process.

“This decision doesn’t prevent copyright holders from identifying online infringers,” said Victoria Noble, a staff attorney at EFF. “It simply forecloses one mechanism for doing so that is particularly susceptible to abuse.”"
