The New York Times announced on July 3 that it will be moving one of its Washington journalists to New York, after she kept quiet about communications later seized by the Department of Justice (DOJ) as part of a probe into leaks of classified information to the press.
Times reporter Ali Watkins, 26, didn’t tell The New York Times for almost four months that the DOJ had alerted her that it had obtained some of her email and phone records as part of an investigation into leaks by a former security staffer, James Wolfe, 57.
