It is being reported in various outlets that, this morning, the FBI executed a search warrant at the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson. The bureau is said to have been searching for classified documents.
Natanson has been covering the Trump administration’s crusade to overhaul the federal government, mainly by bringing agencies under more direct executive control, firing federal workers despite congressional civil service protections (whose legality the administration disputes), and training the workforce on Trump priorities at the expense of what had been their missions. Just three weeks ago, Natanson wrote a provocative report titled, “I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal.” In it, she reproduced messages she had received from hundreds of federal employees.
