Hannah Natanson

Hannah Natanson is a reporter for The Washington Post. She is currently newsworthy because her home was recently raided by the FBI as part of an investigation into the alleged leaking of classified information by a Pentagon contractor, Aurelio Luis Perez-Lugones. The Justice Department claims Perez-Lugones illegally provided sensitive information to a reporter, which the articles suggest is Natanson, who then published at least five articles based on it. The raid involved the seizure of her electronic devices, including laptops and phones. The Washington Post has condemned the raid as 'outrageous' and is demanding the immediate return of the seized materials, citing Natanson's First Amendment rights. A judge has granted a request to temporarily bar the government from reviewing the seized materials. The incident has raised concerns among press freedom groups, who warn that the raid establishes a dangerous precedent for government interference in journalistic activities.
