Overview
- Agents searched Hannah Natanson’s Alexandria, Virginia, home on Wednesday and seized a phone, a Garmin watch, and two laptops, according to the Post.
- Investigators told Natanson she is not a target as authorities seek information about potential sources tied to the alleged leaks.
- Court filings say Aurelio Perez-Lugones, a Maryland system administrator with top-secret clearance, unlawfully retained national defense information, with documents found in his lunchbox and basement.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi said the leaker is in custody and publicly framed the search as part of efforts to stop illegal disclosures of classified material.
- In April, Bondi rolled back prior limits on pursuing journalists’ records, a policy shift that press-freedom advocates say increases the threat to source confidentiality.
