2月24日（路透社）- 美国一名法官周二阻止联邦检察官将从《华盛顿邮报》一名记者处扣押的[设备]作为泄密调查的一部分进行搜查，称他将审查这些设备的内容以寻找潜在证据。
今年1月，联邦调查局（FBI）搜查了记者汉娜·纳坦森（Hannah Natanson）的家，作为一项[国家安全调查]的一部分，新闻界支持者称此举威胁到新闻自由。纳坦森报道了唐纳德·特朗普总统解雇数十万联邦雇员的竞选活动。她尚未被指控有不当行为。

弗吉尼亚州美国治安法官威廉·波特在裁决中表示，由法院监督审查纳坦森的设备是合适的，这既能平衡美国对记者的法律保护，也能确保政府在涉及国家安全的刑事调查中寻求证据的权利。
“因此，法院拒绝政府进行未经监督的、全面搜查所有……扣押数据的请求，”波特说。
司法部律师辩称，此次搜查是调查美国政府机密非法披露的必要部分。他们表示，司法部计划由一组未参与调查的联邦调查局探员（即所谓的过滤团队）审查扣押的材料，并分离出与调查无关的内容。

Feb 24 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Tuesday blocked federal prosecutors from searching [devices seized] from a Washington Post reporter as part of a leak investigation, saying he would review their contents for potential evidence.
The FBI searched reporter Hannah Natanson’s home in January as part of a [national security investigation], a move that press advocates said threatened journalistic freedom. Natanson has covered President Donald Trump’s campaign to fire hundreds of thousands of federal workers. She has not been accused of wrongdoing.

U.S. Magistrate Judge William Porter in Virginia said in his ruling that a court-supervised review of Natanson’s devices was appropriate to balance U.S. legal protections for journalists with the government’s right to seek evidence in criminal investigations implicating national security.
“Accordingly, the court rejects the government’s request to conduct an unsupervised, wholesale search of all … seized data,” Porter said.
Justice Department lawyers had argued the search was a necessary part of an investigation into the unlawful disclosure of U.S. government secrets. They said the DOJ planned to have a group of FBI agents not involved in the investigation, known as a filter team, review the seized material and separate anything not relevant to the probe.
