A judge is deciding whether to return devices seized from a Washington Post reporter during an FBI search over classified document leaks.
A federal judge in Virginia is reviewing The Washington Post’s request to return electronic devices seized from reporter Hannah Natanson’s home in January during an FBI search linked to a Pentagon contractor’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.
The FBI took a phone, two laptops, a recorder, hard drive, and smartwatch.
The Post argues the seizure threatens press freedom, disrupts confidential sources, and violates the Privacy Protection Act since Natanson is not a target.
The judge, William Porter, has blocked the government from reviewing the devices and plans to rule before a March 4 hearing, possibly reviewing the materials privately.
The Justice Department maintains the evidence is vital to a national security investigation.
The case has drawn national concern from press freedom advocates over increasing government scrutiny of journalists in leak probes.
