\n

The Department of Justice<\/a> is reportedly preparing an indictment regarding now-former ABC News investigative reporter James Gordon Meek, who abruptly resigned from the Disney-owned network\u00a0following an FBI raid\u00a0of his Arlington, Virginia, home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In October, Rolling Stone\u2019s Tatiana Siegel revealed that the raid was “among the first \u2014 and quite possibly, the first \u2014 to be carried out on a journalist by the Biden administration.” At the time, ABC News told\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0that Meek “resigned very abruptly and hasn\u2019t worked for us for months,” and staffers were clueless about what happened to their former colleague.<\/p>\n

Siegel elaborated in a follow-up report<\/a> this week, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter who said “the\u00a0FBI\u00a0had been tracking Meek for suspected criminal activity unrelated to his work as a journalist” long before the raid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ABC NEWS REPORTER JAMES GORDON MEEK \u2018RESIGNED VERY ABRUPTLY\u2019 FOLLOWING ALLEGED FBI RAID OF HOME<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Additionally, new details have emerged surrounding the matter.\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0has learned that the FBI seized nearly a dozen electronic devices belonging to the Emmy-winning investigative journalist during the predawn raid of his Arlington, Virginia, home, after which Meek abruptly resigned from ABC via email,” Siegel wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The veteran media reporter noted that the FBI<\/a> “previously confirmed that the agency had been \u2018conducting court-authorized law-enforcement activity\u2019 on the morning of April 27 at Meek\u2019s address.”<\/p>\n

The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mysterious ABC News producer’s attorney\u00a0told Rolling Stone that he “cannot comment on any pending investigations, but any decisions that need to be made right now are entirely within the government\u2019s discretion.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Department of Justice is said to be taking extra precautions given Meek\u2019s status as a journalist. The investigation, details of which are not publicly available, is moving at a deliberate pace that is typical for a high-profile subject, sources say. Complicating matters, the FBI allegedly found classified information on Meek\u2019s laptop following the seizure, multiple sources say. The alleged possession of classified material would remain a separate matter, two of those sources add, and would likely not result in criminal charges,”\u00a0Siegel reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meek regularly worked on sensitive stories while working as a\u00a0national-security investigative producer for ABC News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ABC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Siegel previously reported that ABC\u2019s sister company Hulu stopped an Emmy campaign that was attempting to put a spotlight on “3212 Un-Redacted,” a documentary based on Meek\u2019s reporting, once he “apparently went AWOL,” and Simon & Schuster\u00a0stopped using Meek\u2019s credentials to promote a book he worked on. Lt. Col. Scott Mann, a retired Green Beret who worked on the book with Meek, told Rolling Stone he honored Meek\u2019s request to withdraw from the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He contacted me in the spring, and was really distraught, and told me that he had some serious personal issues going on and that he needed to withdraw from the project,”\u00a0Mann told Siegel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meek has not tweeted since April 27, the day the raid occurred.<\/p>\n

The report comes as ABC News is in the midst of a public relations nightmare<\/a> after “GMA3: What You Need To Know” co-host T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach were benched as the network investigates an extramarital affair between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
