WASHINGTON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - FBI agents searched a Washington Post reporter’s home on Wednesday as officials said an investigation into possible sharing of government secrets continues, the New York Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The reporter, Hannah Natanson, has covered U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign to fire hundreds of thousands of federal workers and shift remaining workers to implementing a pro-administration agenda.
Natanson wrote a story in December about her personal experience covering the story titled "I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal." In it, she related the relentless pace of calls and messages she received from former and current federal employees frustrated by the changes.
Natanson could not immediately be reached for comment. The Washington Post is reviewing and monitoring the situation, a spokesperson said.
"Investigators told the reporter that she is not the focus of the probe. The warrant said law enforcement was investigating a system administrator in Maryland who has been accused of taking home classified intelligence reports," the Washington Post said on X.
The FBI and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
