Like all Americans, Senator Lucas has a right to due process and a presumption of innocence.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.gov3d ago(source)

This raid on Senator Lucas’ office and businesses also comes as President Trump has pressured the DOJ to pursue investigations and prosecutions against New York AG Letitia James, former FBI Director James Comey, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and multiple Democratic Members of Congress.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.gov3d ago(source)

It should be noted that this is occurring just two weeks after Senator Lucas helped lead the successful effort by Virginia voters to reject President Trump’s attempt to rig the midterm elections.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.gov3d ago(source)

While we await the full facts of the investigation, it must be acknowledged that this FBI raid occurs in the broader context of President Trump’s repeated abuse of the Department of Justice to target his perceived political opponents.
