A magistrate judge has barred federal authorities from conducting an unsupervised, wholesale search of electronic devices that they seized from a Washington Post reporter’s Virginia home while investigating allegations that a Pentagon contractor illegally leaked classified information to the journalist.

The Washington Post has asked a federal court for an order requiring federal authorities to return electronic devices that they seized from a Post reporter’s Virginia home last week.

Press freedom advocates are concerned this week's raid on a Washington Post journalist's home will deter reporting on government actions and silence whistleblowers.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says the search of a Washington Post reporter’s home was done at the Pentagon’s request as part of a leak investigation.

So many headlines about The Washington Post over the past year had little to do with its journalism.
