The FBI raided the office of Virginia state Senate Leader L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, on May 6.
Local media Wavy interviewed Lucas’s daughter, who confirmed the FBI search.
The reason for the raid is unclear.

This comes just weeks after Lucas, a Democrat, led an effort to pass a statewide referendum to redraw Virginia’s congressional map, giving Democrats 10 seats and Republicans just one.
The Epoch Times reached out to Lucas for comment.
