ABC Journalist Raided by FBI, Hasn’t Been Seen in Months
The FBI needs to be held accountable for their actions in a major way.
An ABC journalist had his home raided by the FBI this past Spring.
According to neighbors and colleagues, he hasn’t been seen since APRIL.
Former ABC national security producer James Gordon Meek abruptly quit his job at ABC, then moved from his home in Arlington, Virginia following the raid.
Additionally, he suddenly withdrew from a book he was co-authoring about Joe Biden’s failed withdrawal from Afghanistan.
At the time, he was collaborating on the book with a retired Green Beret, who claims that Meek dropped out of due to “personal issues.”
Daily Mail reports on the missing former ABC journalist:
An ABC News investigative producer has not been seen by colleagues since April, when the FBI mysteriously raided his apartment in Virginia.
James Gordon Meek, 52, moved out of his home in Arlington, Virginia, after the raid and hasn’t been seen by neighbors since.
He ‘abruptly’ left his job at the news network, withdrew from the book he was co-authoring about Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, and has kept a low profile ever since.
The Rolling Stone first reported the raid on Wednesday morning, along with sources close to the investigation who say Meek was suspected of possessing classified documents.
The source said agents found classified information on his laptop.
If that is the reason for the raid, it raises serious questions about the government’s approach towards journalists seeking to expose corruption or wrongdoing.
Meek was working on a book about Biden’s failed Afghanistan withdrawal around the time of the FBI raid, which he abruptly withdrew from due to “personal issues.”
The Daily Beast has more details:
All references to Meek have also disappeared from a book he was co-authoring with a retired Green Beret, Lt. Col. Scott Mann, who told Rolling Stone: “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.”
