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 President Donald Trump's campaign to fire hundreds of thousands of federal workers and shift remaining workers to implementing a pro-administration agenda. ADVERTISEMENTThe Washington Post said Natanson had her phone and a Garmin watch seized by agents at her Virginia home. An FBI affidavit says the search was related to an investigation into a system administrator in Maryland who authorities believe took home classified reports. The Washington Post, FBI and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
