The FBI used a search warrant to raid the home of freelance journalist Tim Burke on May 8, 2023, in Tampa, Fla., seizing most of his electronic devices, after Burke obtained outtakes of a 2022 Fox News interview by Tucker Carlson with the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
The Committee to Protect Journalists signed on to a coalition letter calling on the Justice Department to make public information about its role in the raid on Burke’s home and how Justice officials believe he broke the law.
