Appeals Court Limits Access to Journalists' LinkedIn Data

• A federal appeals court limited the Trump administration's access to journalists' LinkedIn records in a leak investigation.
• The court ruled the initial request was too broad and could reveal numerous unrelated confidential sources.
• The ruling was made by a unanimous three-judge panel, including Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson.
• A federal judge must now narrow the order requiring LinkedIn to divulge journalists' communications.
• The decision could have significant implications for First Amendment rights.
