The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided the home of Democratic Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas Wednesday over alleged ties to a major corruption investigation.
FBI agents were reportedly seen raiding Lucas’ home in Portsmouth, Virginia, in connection with an ongoing corruption investigation, as well as serving multiple search warrants at her office and a cannabis dispensary next door, according to Fox News. Lucas, who serves as President Pro Tempore of the Virginia Senate, is the architect of the recent efforts by Virginia Democrats to gerrymander the state’s congressional map, from a 6-5 advantage for Democrats to a 10-1 advantage.

The federal corruption probe, according to Fox News, centers — at least in part — on alleged illegal marijuana sales. Lucas was reportedly present at her office during the raid, telling Fox News that she was unaware as to why she was the target of law enforcement action.
