Federal agents executed a search warrant at the district office of Virginia Senate President L. Louise Lucas on Wednesday as part of an ongoing corruption investigation, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The Portsmouth office belongs to the Democratic state senator, who played a prominent role in Virginia’s recent redistricting efforts.
Federal Bureau of Investigation officials confirmed they were executing a court-approved search warrant in Portsmouth but provided no additional details. The source who verified the search of Lucas’s office requested anonymity because they were not permitted to publicly discuss the active investigation.
