“Federal investigators secretly seized two months of phone records for reporters and editors of The Associated Press in what the news organization said Monday was a ‘serious interference with A.P.’s constitutional rights to gather and report the news.’ The A.P. said that the Justice Department informed it on Friday that law enforcement officials had obtained the records for more than 20 telephone lines of its offices and journalists, including their home phones and cellphones. It said the records were seized without notice sometime this year. The organization was not told the reason for the seizure.”
