美国联邦调查局（FBI）一名发言人对哥伦比亚广播公司表示，该局于周三搜查了弗吉尼亚州朴茨茅斯市的弗吉尼亚州州参议员L·路易丝·卢卡斯的办公室。
卢卡斯是推动一项新的国会选区地图在弗吉尼亚州议会通过的关键人物，该地图新增了4个倾向民主党的席位。该选区地图在4月的全民公投中获得通过，但目前因弗吉尼亚州最高法院正在审查其合法性而处于暂停状态。
据一名知情人士透露，调查人员正在调查一起与大麻药房业务相关的所谓贿赂阴谋。
该发言人证实，联邦执法官员同时搜查了卢卡斯联合拥有的一家大麻药房。
目前官方尚未公开说明调查的具体目标，或是此次经法院授权的执法行动与何事相关。一名知情人士表示，该调查始于拜登政府执政期间。

此次执法行动最先由福克斯新闻频道报道。卢卡斯对福克斯新闻表示，她完全不清楚FBI探员在其办公室搜查的原因。
卢卡斯没有回复哥伦比亚广播公司多次发出的置评请求，她的办公室也未立即回应置评请求。
现年82岁的卢卡斯于1991年首次当选弗吉尼亚州议会议员，目前担任参议院临时议长。今年早些时候，在她协助推动民主党选区重划计划期间，卢卡斯曾在社交媒体上嘲讽共和党人、特朗普总统，甚至包括其所在州的民主党联邦参议员。
“是你们先挑的头，我们他妈的把事情搞定了，”该法案通过后她在社交媒体上发帖称，她指的是特朗普推动重新划分德克萨斯州国会选区的举动，这一事件引发了两党之间的选区重划之争。
弗吉尼亚州众议院议长、民主党人唐·斯科特周三发表声明称，卢卡斯“尚未受到任何指控”，并补充道“目前我们完全不清楚此事最终意味着什么”。
“我对周三联邦调查局的突袭行动深感担忧。考虑到本届政府的政治化操作——由卡什·帕特尔领导的FBI，以及由唐纳德·特朗普总统前私人律师掌管的司法部——我认为人们应该持保留态度，在得出结论前静待事实浮出水面，”斯科特说道。
FBI searches office of L. Louise Lucas, Virginia lawmaker who helped lead redistricting effort

The FBI on Wednesday searched the office of longtime Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, a bureau spokesperson told CBS News.
Lucas was a key figure in pushing a new congressional map through Virginia’s legislature that adds four Democratic-leaning seats. The map was approved in a ballot referendum in April but is currently on hold while the Virginia Supreme Court considers the legality of the new map.
Investigators are looking into an alleged bribery scheme in connection with the marijuana dispensary business, according to a source familiar with the matter.
A cannabis dispensary co-owned by Lucas was also being searched by federal law enforcement officials, the spokesperson confirmed.
There was no public statement on what investigation is specifically focused on or what the court-authorized law enforcement activity is related to. A source familiar with the matter said the investigation started during the Biden administration.

The law enforcement activity was first reported by Fox News. Lucas told Fox News that she had no idea what the FBI agents were doing at her office.
Lucas did not answer multiple attempts from CBS News to reach her, and her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Lucas, 82, was first elected to the Virginia General Assembly in 1991, and is currently the Senate president pro tempore. As she helped lead the Democratic redistricting plan earlier this year, Lucas used social media to taunt Republicans, President Trump and even the Democratic U.S. senators from her state.
“You all started it and we f***ing finished it,” she posted on social media after the measure passed, referring to Mr. Trump’s push to redraw Texas’ congressional map that kicked off the redistricting battle between the two parties.
Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Don Scott, a Democrat, said issued a statement Wednesday saying that Lucas has “not been charged with anything,” adding “at this point we simply do not know what this ultimately means.”
“I am deeply concerned by today’s FBI raid. Given the politicization of this administration — an FBI led by Kash Patel and a Justice Department run by President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney — I think people should take this with a grain of salt and allow the facts to come out before jumping to conclusions,” Scott said.
