Judge Halts FBI's Search of Reporter's Devices; Leak Probe at Issue
A federal judge has temporarily halted the FBI's search of devices seized from a Washington Post reporter's home, pending further proceedings on the legality of the search. The government's action is part of a leak investigation involving a Pentagon contractor, but the Post argues the search violates the First Amendment and includes privileged material, requesting the devices' return. The court will now weigh arguments regarding potential constitutional violations against the government's interest in pursuing its investigation.
