The Department of Justice authorized the FBI to search the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson over an investigation into federal contractor Aurelio Perez-Lugones. Agents seized Natanson’s phone and Garmin watch while investigating claims that Perez-Lugones took classified documents home, some reportedly found in his lunchbox and basement. The raid raises concerns about press freedom as Natanson covers the federal workforce.
