法官正在决定是否归还 在联邦调查局搜查机密文件泄漏时 从华盛顿邮报记者那里缴获的装置 A judge is deciding whether to return devices seized from a Washington Post reporter during an FBI search over classified document leaks.

弗吉尼亚州一名联邦法官正在审查《华盛顿邮报》要求归还记者汉娜·纳坦森一月在FBI搜查中查获的电子设备，该搜查与五角大楼承包商涉嫌处理机密文件有关。 A federal judge in Virginia is reviewing The Washington Post’s request to return electronic devices seized from reporter Hannah Natanson’s home in January during an FBI search linked to a Pentagon contractor’s alleged mishandling of classified documents. 联邦调查局拿走了一部电话 两部笔记本电脑 一台录音机 硬盘 和智能手表 The FBI took a phone, two laptops, a recorder, hard drive, and smartwatch. 《华盛顿邮报》认为，此次扣押威胁了新闻自由，扰乱了机密消息来源，并且违反了《隐私保护法》，因为纳坦森并非目标。 The Post argues the seizure threatens press freedom, disrupts confidential sources, and violates the Privacy Protection Act since Natanson is not a target. 法官威廉波特(William Porter)阻止政府审查这些装置, 并计划在3月4日听证会前作出裁决, The judge, William Porter, has blocked the government from reviewing the devices and plans to rule before a March 4 hearing, possibly reviewing the materials privately. 司法部保存的证据对国家安全调查至关重要。 The Justice Department maintains the evidence is vital to a national security investigation. 该案引起了全国新闻自由倡导者的关注,即政府日益在泄漏探测器中对记者进行监督。 The case has drawn national concern from press freedom advocates over increasing government scrutiny of journalists in leak probes.
