Trump’s Federal agents just made an incredibly rare and aggressive move, searching the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson as part of a leak investigation. This isn’t just a scary action for a journalist; it immediately put the anonymity of 1,169 confidential sources at grave risk, which is frankly awful for press freedom and the public’s right to know what’s going on inside the government.
Agents executing the search warrant didn’t mess around, seizing Natanson’s laptops, her phone, and even her smartwatch. That’s a huge haul of personal and professional data that could easily reveal the identity of every single person who trusted her with sensitive information, according to NY Times.
