Posted By ap 6 months, 1 week ago in NewsLAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada newspaper says it will comply with a narrowed federal grand jury subpoena seeking information about the authors of two Web site comments about a criminal tax trial.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Wednesday that the U.S. attorney's office in Las Vegas reduced its demand for information to "two comments that might be construed as threatening to jurors or prosecutors."
