FBI agents executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore Louise Lucas, a Democratic lawmaker who has played a prominent role in the state's redistricting efforts.

Multiple FBI vehicles were positioned outside Lucas's office during the search. An FBI spokesperson confirmed that an investigation is ongoing and stated there is no threat to public safety, but declined to provide additional details about the nature of the inquiry.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the search is connected to a federal investigation examining possible corruption and bribery related to marijuana businesses. The investigation reportedly began during the Biden administration and involves allegations of potential misconduct in the cannabis industry.

Lucas serves as President Pro Tempore of the Virginia Senate and has been a key figure in the state's congressional redistricting process. She has held significant influence in Democratic politics within the state legislature.

Federal authorities have not released information about what materials, if any, were seized during the search or whether Lucas herself is a target of the investigation. The congressman's office has not immediately responded to requests for comment regarding the federal action.
