Agents executed court-authorised warrants on Wednesday at Democratic state Sen. L. Louise Lucas's office in Portsmouth and a linked dispensary; Lucas said she did not know why.
The federal investigation centres on alleged corruption and illegal marijuana sales, including products said to be mislabeled or above Virginia's legal THC limits.
The warrants were approved by a federal judge on probable-cause grounds, intensifying scrutiny of the veteran power broker and ally of Governor Abigail Spanberger.
