FBI agents searched the home of reporter Hannah Natanson last week as part of a leak investigation involving a Pentagon contractor.
The Washington Post has demanded that items seized from the home of a reporter by the FBI last week be returned. In an article posted to the outlet's website Wednesday, the news organization reported they had filed to compel the government to return the items, which included a phone, two laptops and a Garmin watch.
The filing argued the search “flouts the First Amendment and ignores federal statutory safeguards for journalists,” and noted that “irreparable harm“ had been done.
