“Thomas Pham LeGro, 48, made his first appearance today in US District Court for allegedly possessing child pornography. LeGro, a journalist at the Washington Post and resident of the District of Columbia, was arrested yesterday and taken into custody following a search of his home. The charges were announced by US Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro. Pirro thanks FBI Assistant Director in Charge Steven J Jensen and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department for their ongoing efforts in this investigation,” said DC US Attorney Box-o-Wine’s office in a Friday statement
“On June 26, 2025, FBI agents executed a search warrant at LeGro’s residence and seized several electronic devices. A review of LeGro’s work laptop revealed a folder that contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material. During the execution of the search warrant agents observed what appeared to be fractured pieces of a hard drive in the hallway outside the room where LeGro’s work laptop was found. This case is being investigated by the FBI Washington Field Office’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, which is composed of FBI agents, along with other federal agents and detectives from northern Virginia and the District of Columbia. The task force is charged with investigating and bringing federal charges against individuals engaged in the exploitation of children and those engaged in human trafficking,” the statement continued.
In their lede on the story, the Gateway Pundit points out that LeGro was on the team that won a Pulitzer for exposing Roy Moore’s predatory sickfuckery, the implication of hypocrisy obvious.
Funny side note: The Gateway Pundit’s sole mention of former Moms for Liberty ally South Carolina state House member RJ May – arrested earlier this month for the same crime – was in a 2022 article.
