FBI agents search office of Virginia state senator Louise Lucas
FBI agents searched the office of Virginia state senator Louise Lucas on 6 May, according to two people familiar with the case.
The search was linked to a Biden-era investigation into possible corruption and bribery involving marijuana businesses.
The office belongs to a Democratic lawmaker, and the action was described as part of an older probe rather than a new case.
No further details were provided in the supplied material about what agents were seeking or whether anything was seized.
The search is significant because it brings a long-running federal investigation into the office of an elected state senator.
It also suggests the inquiry remains active, even though the underlying allegations date back to the Biden administration.
Louise Lucas is a prominent Democratic figure in Virginia politics, but the supplied material does not say whether she is a target of the investigation or whether she has been accused of wrongdoing.
It also does not identify any other people or businesses involved.
The only confirmed link given is to marijuana businesses and possible corruption and bribery.
