The Justice Department has withdrawn subpoenas that would have forced reporters from The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal to appear before a grand jury. The orders, issued earlier this week, targeted one journalist from each paper and were due to require their testimony in one pending grand jury investigation, but the department rescinded the demands before any court proceeding took place.
