James Gordon Meek is an Emmy Award-winning journalist who worked as a correspondent and producer for ABC News.
On April 27, 2022, the FBI raided Meek's home and leaked the information that Meek had classified information on his laptop, which precipitated the need to conduct the raid.
Purportedly, the warrant and the reasons behind the raid should be under seal; but such is the nature of this FBI. I am nowhere near the investigative journalist that Meek is, but the last thing I would think of doing is leaving sensitive information on my laptop.
Multiple sources familiar with the matter say Meek was the target of an FBI raid at the Siena Park apartments, where he had been living on the top floor for more than a decade.
If the raid was for Meek's records, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco would have had to give her blessing; a new policy enacted last year prohibits federal prosecutors from seizing journalists' documents.
Meek also partnered on a book with retired green beret Lt. Colonel Scott Mann that Meek appeared to be quite proud about.
The first sentence of the jacket previously read: "In April, ABC News correspondent James Gordon Meek got an urgent call from a Special Forces operator serving overseas." Now it says: "In April, an urgent call was placed from a Special Forces operator serving overseas."
