The FBI conducted an unprecedented search of a Washington Post reporter's home and seized her electronic devices as part of an investigation into leaked information from a Pentagon contractor. The reporter, Hannah Natanson, who has over 1,100 government contacts, was not the focus of the probe, according to investigators. The search has raised concerns about press freedom and the constitutional protections for journalists.
