flag A judge blocked the Justice Department from freely searching reporter Hannah Natanson’s devices, citing First Amendment concerns.

flag The Justice Department's attempt to search electronic devices taken from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson as part of a national security investigation into a Pentagon contractor who is suspected of leaking classified material has been blocked by a federal judge. flag According to Judge William Porter, a thorough, unrestricted examination of her digital work product—which includes phones, laptops, and recording devices—violates First Amendment rights by endangering press freedom and the protections of confidential sources. flag The judge will instead reject the government's request for a filter team and personally go over the materials to find only pertinent evidence. flag The devices were seized during a raid on Natanson's house on January 14; the case has garnered national attention due to conflicts between journalistic integrity and national security investigations.
