Evidence In Post reporter’s Case Is An Obama Administration Job Application
 |
| Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian |
A piece of evidence introduced in the Tehran trial of Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian is an online job application for a position in the Obama administration that the journalist submitted unsuccessfully in 2008, The Post’s executive editor said Thursday.
In a statement, Martin Baron cited recent accounts in Iranian and U.S. news media that the Revolutionary Court where Rezaian is being tried on espionage and other charges is weighing correspondence between Rezaian and the administration after Obama was first elected.
Rezaian at the time was working in Iran as a freelance journalist. Baron said that the reports were “incomplete” and that he wanted to set the record straight.
“Shortly after the 2008 election of President Obama, more than three years before Jason began working for The Post, he applied online for a job in the incoming Obama administration, citing his familiarity with Iran and a wide cross-section of Iranian society,” Baron said.
