FBI Agents Raid Home of Washington Post Reporter Hannah Natanson

HeadlineJan 15, 2026

FBI agents raided the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson Wednesday. Authorities seized her phone, two laptops and a Garmin watch. Natanson has spent the past year covering the Trump administration’s efforts to fire the federal workforce. Matt Murray, the executive editor of The Washington Post, said in a staff message, “this extraordinary, aggressive action is deeply concerning and raises profound questions and concern around the constitutional protections for our work.” According to the Post, investigators reportedly told Natanson she wasn’t the target of the probe. A warrant obtained by the paper cited an investigation into a government contractor with a top-secret security clearance who has been accused of taking home classified intelligence reports. In a statement, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the warrant was executed at the request of the Pentagon and that Perez-Lugones had been arrested. We’ll have more on this story later in the broadcast.
