FBI raids Virginia office tied to Democrats, but probe started under predecessor Biden
Democrats are condemning a recent FBI raid on Virginia Senator L. Louise Lucas' Portsmouth office, but the probe is reportedly being led by an Obama-era US Attorney's Office and was initiated before Trump took office.
Senate Democrats criticized President Donald Trump for the FBI's raid on Virginia Senator L. Louise Lucas' Portsmouth office and cannabis dispensary, labeling it a 'political prosecution.' However, experts note that the investigation began under former President Barack Obama's administration in 2018. The probe was initially sparked by concerns over the legality of cannabis sales to individuals with criminal records. Despite Trump's involvement, Democrats acknowledge the FBI's actions were not initiated by his presidency.
