'It's simply, simply wrong'

President Joe Biden on Friday told CNN he would not let his Department of Justice seize phone records or emails from reporters.

Following a joint presser with Korean President Moon Jae-In in the White House East Room, Biden told CNN: "We should absolutely, positively -- it's wrong, it's simply, simply wrong," adding, "I will not let that happen."

CNN reported Thursday that the Trump administration secretly sought and obtained the 2017 phone and email records of CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr, the latest instance where federal prosecutors have taken aggressive steps targeting journalists in leak investigations.

The Justice Department informed Starr, in a May 13 letter, that prosecutors had obtained her phone and email records covering two months -- between June 1, 2017 to July 31, 2017. The letter listed phone numbers for Starr's Pentagon extension, the CNN Pentagon booth phone number and her home and cell phones, as well as Starr's work and personal email accounts.
