The FBI recently conducted a search at the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson as part of an investigation into leaked classified documents related to the Pentagon.
• The FBI executed a search warrant at Natanson's home in Alexandria, Virginia, seizing her phone, a Garmin watch, and two laptops.
• Natanson has been informed that she is not the target of the investigation.
• The suspected leaker, Aurelio Perez-Lugones, is a government system administrator with top-secret clearance, accused of taking classified materials out of his workplace, including documents found in his lunchbox.
• Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the investigation is backed by the Department of War. She emphasized that the Trump Administration is serious about handling illegal leaks that jeopardize national security.
• The Washington Post confirmed the search and expressed concerns about press freedom being threatened, with advocacy groups criticizing the raid as an intrusion.
• FBI Director Kash Patel accused Natanson of reporting sensitive military information that could endanger lives.
• Natanson, who has received tips through encrypted channels, has published several articles critical of the Trump administration.
• President Trump claimed that Lugones leaked classified information about Venezuela and hinted at possible further arrests.
The incident raises significant questions regarding journalistic freedom and the handling of classified information.
