"Colleagues and journalists from other outlets united in support of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson on Wednesday hours after the FBI searched her Virginia home and seized several of her devices as part of an investigation into the alleged mishandling of classified information. Natanson was at home when agents arrived. According to the newspaper's reporting, federal officers examined her devices before seizing a phone, a Garmin watch, and two laptops one personal and one issued by her employer."
"Agents later told Natanson that she was not the target of the investigation. In the hours after the news broke colleagues took to social media to declare they were standing with Natason and lauding her work, sharing links to past articles: I stand with my Washington Post colleague @hannah_natanson She is a terrific reporter doing vital and unmatched work. This is a reminder of why we @washingtonpost and throughout the journalism community do what we do. Warren Strobel (@wstrobel) January 14, 2026"
