FBI can't examine devices it took from Washington Post reporter for now, judge rules

A federal judge has barred the FBI from examining the electronic devices its agents seized last week from the Virginia home of a Washington Post reporter until he can review the controversial case.

"The government must preserve but must not review any of the materials that law enforcement seized pursuant to search warrants the Court issued," U.S. Magistrate Judge William B. Porter wrote in a two-page ruling filed Wednesday in federal district court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
