FBI agents looked in the home of Hannah Natanson. She writes for The Washington Post newspaper. This happened on Wednesday in Virginia.
The search is for a big question. A government worker is in trouble. He had secret papers. He gave them to others. Agents took Natanson's phone and computers. They also took a fitness tracker.
The main person is Aurelio Perez-Lugones. He worked for the government. He had secret papers. He is accused of taking them. Last week, agents looked in his car. They found secret papers in a lunchbox.
The FBI wants to know if this is about Natanson's stories. Many reporters are worried. They think this is not good. It might stop reporters from their work.
This is about secret papers and sharing news. The government wants to keep data safe. But reporters need to share important facts. This makes people worry about free speech.
