The reporter Hannah Nathanson of The Washington Post wrote a story in the first person about her long year as a "whisperer for the federal government" - during which she obtained tips from hundreds of federal employees affected by Trump's reshaping of the federal government. On Wednesday morning, FBI agents arrived at Nathanson's home and executed a search warrant, seizing one of Nathanson's phones and two computers. Attorney General Bonta posted on the social media platform X, accusing Nathanson of "obtaining and reporting classified information that was illegally leaked from a Pentagon contractor." This highly unusual search immediately raised strong concerns among advocates of press freedom.
