FBI Wiretapped Calls Between Congressman Subramanyam and Senator Lucas Amid Investigation
U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam disclosed that the FBI, under a court-approved wiretap, intercepted his phone calls with Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas between March and April 2026. The surveillance relates to an ongoing federal investigation into Lucas, coinciding with Virginia's redistricting referendum and congressional oversight activities. Subramanyam expressed concern over the monitoring and questioned its timing and potential political motivations, while no evidence has linked the investigations directly to coordinated political actions.
