The case New York Times Co. v. United States (1971)

Explanation:

The case New York Times Co v. the United States in 1971 was similar to the case Near v. Minnesota ex rel. Olson in 1931 because in the New York Times Case the Nixon administration attempted to suppress the publication of the newspaper because it would publish a top-secret that involved the US military in Vietnam.

The Supreme Court decided that the government could not suppress the publication of the newspaper because it would violate the 1st Amendment that guaranteed freedom of the press.
