A top Virginia Democrat's office was being raided by the FBI on Wednesday morning.
The federal agency raided the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia on Wednesday per Fox News.
Fox also reported that this action was in relation to a 'major corruption probe,' adding that the 'FBI is serving multiple search warrants, approved by a federal judge, at her office and a next-door cannabis dispensary.'
Lucas was captured arriving on the scene as the FBI searched her office, per a live broadcast from the event.
Lucas told reporters on the scene that she did not know the reason for the raid.
Corruption allegations were the reason for the raid, per Fox 5 DC.
The Senate President Pro Tem was a key advocate of Virginia's 10-1 congressional map redistricting push.
Although Lucas and Governor Abigail Spanberger are both Democrats, they are not necessarily the best of friends.

Spanberger's Chief of Staff sued Louise Lucas' Marketing Director earlier this year, and Lucas was reluctant to endorse Spanberger in her 2025 gubernatorial race.
Lucas had previously been skeptical of Spanberger’s candidacy as she was a top backer of encouraging Virginia Congressman Bobby Scott, a black Democrat, to run for the post instead.
