The FBI carried out a search at the home of a Washington Post journalist in connection with a case involving the obtaining and reporting of classified information. US Attorney General Pamela Bondi revealed the case centers on illegal leaks from a Pentagon contractor. Bondi confirmed the leaker is "behind bars." She said, "The Trump Administration will not tolerate illegal leaks of classified information that, when reported, pose a grave risk to our Nation’s national security and the brave men and women who are serving our country." The crackdown has alarmed press freedom supporters. The search was done after a request from the Department of War, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. Last month, Post reporter Hannah Natanson spoke about her year of receiving tips from federal employees under the Trump administration. Natanson was told she is not a target of the investigation, suggesting the FBI may be pursuing her sources. Natanson reviewed the FBI's search warrant and shared its details with her employer, CNN reported, citing a source familiar with the case.
