Multiple sources familiar with the matter say Meek was the target of an FBI raid at the Siena Park apartments, where he had been living on the top floor for more than a decade. An FBI representative told Rolling Stone its agents were present on the morning of April 27 “at the 2300 block of Columbia Pike, Arlington, Virginia, conducting court-authorized law-enforcement activity. The FBI cannot comment further due to an ongoing investigation.”
Meek has been charged with no crime. But independent observers believe the raid is among the first — and quite possibly, the first — to be carried out on a journalist by the Biden administration. A federal magistrate judge in the Virginia Eastern District Court signed off on the search warrant the day before the raid.
In the raid’s aftermath, Meek has made himself scarce. None of his Siena Park neighbors with whom Rolling Stone spoke have seen him since, with his apartment appearing to be vacant. Siena Park management declined to confirm that their longtime tenant was gone, citing “privacy policies.” Similarly, several ABC News colleagues — who are accustomed to unraveling mysteries and cracking investigative stories — tell Rolling Stone that they have no idea what happened to Meek.
“He fell off the face of the Earth,” says one. “And people asked, but no one knew the answer.”
An ABC representative tells Rolling Stone, “He resigned very abruptly and hasn’t worked for us for months."
I do not want to post the entire story, but I find it quite troubling. There are so many questions left unanswered...
No. The FBI says they will not comment on an active investigation.
The article was phrased as though it was trying to convey the FBI did something wrong, but we simply do not know whether that is the case.
More bizarre is that ABC is not doing any follow-up to the whole story. They only comment they had is that "he has not worked for ABC since abruptly resigning a few months ago."
Definitely a very strange situation. Maybe he just wanted to really lay low, but it's pretty odd.
He's either in hiding or he'll turn up "suicided".
They aren't going to let another Snowden spill the beans to Americans.
