Joy Reid has brought the FBI into her investigation of what she claims was a hacking of her website.
After screenshots of her old Reid Report blog went viral last week that included multiple homophobic comments, the MSNBC host claimed that the Internet Archive version of her blog had been hacked.

Reid’s lawyer, John H. Reichman, said the FBI has been brought into the matter.
