‘Panicked’: Pulitzer-prize winning, major media ‘reporter’ arrested on child-porn charges
There was a team of reporters back in 2018 who “reported” on the “politically timed” – and unsubstantiated – claims against then-Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, that he approached little girls, even kissed them.
Moore earlier had been twice elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and then was removed over his decision to acknowledge the Ten Commandments. He long had been a target for Democrats and other leftists who are anti-Christian, who feared such a presence in the U.S. Senate.
That team eventually was honored with a Pulitzer prize for its published hit pieces on Moore, who ended up not winning the election.
Now one of those team members is under arrest – in an irony too massive to miss: Child porn charges.

A report at Revolver News explains it is Thomas Pham LeGro, 48, who is accused of possessing child porn.
He is a journalist at the Washington Post and resident of the District of Columbia.
“The charges were announced by U.S. 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. 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,” the report said.
FBI agents and members of a task force charged with investigating and bringing federal charges against suspects in the exploitation of children are investigating.
The report explained the background, “In 2018, the liberal media patted themselves on the back for taking down Roy Moore, a Republican Senate candidate from Alabama. The takedown followed the usual pattern. Moore was attacked over allegations from 40 years ago. Allegations that were unproven, disputed, and oh-so-perfectly politically timed. The Washington Post, naturally, led the charge. They published the hit piece, won their little gold trophy, and got their high-fives in the newsroom.”
Those reports were based on statements from various individuals who made claims about Moore.
The publication’s biography on LeGro reveals how he participated in the anti-Moore campaign, and has been promoted multiple times since.
“Federal agents found a folder with eleven child porn videos. LeGro was so panicked, he even tried destroying the hard drives right as agents arrived,” the report said.
“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,” authorities explained.
