| Subject: Fox News reporter was labeled a "co-conspirator" to justify absurd DOJ email probe Mon May 20, 2013 10:06 pm | |
| Just one week after the US Department of Justice revealed that it secretly seized the telephone records of AP journalists, new details have emerged regarding another case of a reporter ensnared in the department's leak investigations.
The Washington Post reports that the Justice Department had tracked the movements of Fox News correspondent James Rosen and Washington advisor Stephen Jin-Woo using security badge access records from the State Department's headquarters in 2009. The investigation pertained to the possible leak of a CIA analysis on North Korean nuclear tests, and led to Woo being indicted under the Espionage Act. But according to an affidavit, the Justice Department also obtained a search warrant to access two days of Rosen's private email content — a step further than the AP probe, which seized the phone records and metadata of up to 100 journalists.
