"The reporter's home and devices were searched, and her Garmin watch and phone seized, according to a warrant obtained by the Post that cited an investigation into Aurelio Perez-Lugones, a system administrator in Maryland with a top secret security clearance who has been accused of accessing and taking home classified intelligence reports. Natanson, the Post said, covers the federal workforce and has been a part of the newspaper's most high-profile and sensitive coverage during the first year of the second Trump administration."
"In a first-person account published last month, Natanson described herself as the Post's federal government whisperer, and said she would receive calls day and night from federal workers who wanted to tell me how President Donald Trump was rewriting their workplace policies, firing their colleagues or transforming their agency's missions. It's been brutal, the article's headline said. Natanson said her work had led to 1,169 new sources, all current or former federal employees who decided to trust me with their stories."
FBI agents raided Hannah Natanson's Virginia home early Wednesday and searched her devices, seizing her Garmin watch and phone. The raid was part of an investigation into Aurelio Perez-Lugones, a Maryland system administrator with a top secret security clearance accused of accessing and taking home classified intelligence reports. The search warrant cited documents found in Perez-Lugones's lunchbox and basement. Natanson covers the federal workforce and has cultivated over 1,169 sources among current and former federal employees. Natanson previously described receiving calls day and night from federal workers and said the intensity of the work nearly broke her. The Justice Department had no immediate comment.
