FBI searches Virginia Senate leader's office as part of corruption probe

The FBI conducted a search at the office of Virginia Senate leader L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth as part of a corruption investigation. This follows Lucas's role in leading the state's recent redistricting efforts. The FBI confirmed a court-authorized search but did not provide further details. Lucas has not commented on the matter. Recently, Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment for new U.S. House districts, which could help Democrats gain additional seats. The state Supreme Court is currently reviewing the legality of this amendment after a lower court deemed it invalid due to procedural issues.
