UPDATE: Newsweek’s offices were raided on Thursday by the office of the Manhattan district attorney.

The Outline first reported that a dozen agents raided the Financial District offices of Newsweek and its sister company International Business Times. Though it remained unclear why agents came to the office — and multiple reporters who were not in the company’s New York offices told Business Insider they were kept in the dark — a source familiar with the situation confirmed that some staff were told that law enforcement were taking pictures of the company’s servers.

Though a Newsweek representative did not respond to Business Insider’s request for comment, multiple staffers said a Newsweek reporter was working on a story in lieu of a statement. – READ MORE

More than a dozen police showed up this morning at the office that serves as the shared headquarters for Newsweek magazine and IBT Media, which rebranded in 2017 as Newsweek Group, according to multiple sources who were present.

The reason for the visit was not clear, but one employee said police were taking photos of the company’s servers.

Employees said the police appeared to be from the NYPD, not the FBI.

NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The office is at 7 Hanover Square in New York’s financial district.

Police also visited the office in December, a former employee said.

Looking into reports that the Manhattan District Attorney's Office @ManhattanDA raided Newsweek/IBT Offices today….sources say police have been there for hours. The DA has declined to comment. — Avi Asher-Schapiro (@AASchapiro) January 18, 2018

Sources say that the DA's investigation has been going on for 17 months & is related to the "procurement of servers." DA's warrant allowed police to photograph the news org's server room. https://t.co/jbJKmWcjDO — Avi Asher-Schapiro (@AASchapiro) January 18, 2018
