James Gordon Meek (born 1968) is an American journalist who formerly worked for ABC News.[1]
He was a writer and narrator for the 2021 Emmy-nominated documentary film 3212 Un-redacted[2] which detailed the Tongo Tongo ambush, an ambush of Green Berets in Niger in 2017.[3]
In 2006, reporting for the Daily News, Meek was the first journalist to report on that year's Al Qaeda-organized Hudson River bomb plot. From 2011, Meek was a senior counterterrorism advisor and investigator for the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security, where he investigated, among other terrorist acts, the Boston Marathon bombing.[4][5] Simon & Schuster has stated that Meek spent five years investigating the death of Dave Sharrett II.[5]
Meek resigned from his position as an investigative producer for ABC News on April 27, 2022, the same day the FBI raided his home. As a result of the search, he was arrested on January 31, 2023, for "transportation of images of child sexual abuse".[6][7]
