The FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter who obtained classified and illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor.
Feds executed a search warrant at the Alexandria, Virginia, home of WaPo reporter Hannah Natanson on Wednesday morning as part of an investigation into a Maryland system administrator who has a top security clearance.
The FBI seized Natanson’s cell phone, two laptops (one personal and one work-related), and a Garmin watch.
Natanson is not the subject of the investigation.
According to The Washington Post, Natanson was at home at the time of the raid.
The leaker, Aurelio Perez-Lugones, is currently in jail.
FBI agents reportedly found classified intelligence reports in Perez-Lugones’ lunchbox and basement.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi said the search was conducted at the Pentagon’s request.
Bondi also said that the Trump Administration will not tolerate any leaks.
“This past week, at the request of the Department of War, the Department of Justice and FBI executed a search warrant at the home of a Washington Post journalist who was obtaining and reporting classified and illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
“The leaker is currently behind bars. I am proud to work alongside Secretary Hegseth on this effort,” she said.
“The Trump Administration will not tolerate illegal leaks of classified information that, when reported, pose a grave risk to our Nation’s national security and the brave men and women who are serving our country,” Bondi said.
Hannah Natanson boasted about accepting information she knew she shouldn’t have.
