Carlson has been the target of selective leaks following his firing from Fox News last month. Leftist organization Media Matters published off-air content in which he made off-color remarks.

Sources familiar with the raid told the Tampa Bay Times that the search was carried out in connection with an FBI investigation of the leaks. A federal prosecutor outlined the investigation in a letter provided to Fox News. The FBI probe involves alleged computer hacks and intercepted communications involving the network.
The search took place on May 8, and Burke, who has worked for left-wing news outlets Deadspin and The Daily Beast, declined to comment in response to an inquiry from the Times. Prosecutors have asked a judge to seal a probable cause affidavit underlying the search of Burke’s home, according to The Daily Beast.
