WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Post says FBI agents have searched a reporter’s home as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of sharing government secrets.

The Post says journalist Hannah Natanson had her phone and a Garmin watch seized by agents at her Virginia home.

An FBI affidavit says the search was related to an investigation into a system administrator in Maryland who authorities believe took home classified reports.

An FBI spokesperson declines to comment. Justice Department officials haven’t responded to a request for comment.
