On January 14, 2026, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided the home of Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson in Virginia and seized her phone, digital watch, and two laptop computers. Federal agents showed up at her door unannounced.

The Post and Natanson were not the subject of any Justice Department investigations and she was arrested at the request of the Pentagon. The FBI accused her of illegally retaining classified government materials.
