The Justice Department has agreed to return Tennessee Republican Representative Andy Ogles' personal cellphone that was seized during an investigation into his campaign finances, according to reports.

The return of the device signals that federal prosecutors are abandoning their probe into the congressman's campaign financial activities. Ogles, who represents Tennessee's 5th congressional district, is a supporter of President Donald Trump.

The investigation had focused on potential irregularities in Ogles' campaign finance reporting and practices. The congressman's phone was seized as part of the federal inquiry, which has been ongoing for an undetermined period.

The decision to return the phone and end the investigation suggests that prosecutors did not find sufficient evidence to pursue charges against the congressman. The Justice Department has not publicly commented on the specific reasons for concluding the probe.

Ogles, who was first elected to Congress in 2022, has not been charged with any wrongdoing related to the investigation. The conclusion of the federal probe removes a potential legal cloud that had been hanging over the freshman congressman.
