Virginia Democrat says DOJ wiretapped phone calls with state Senate leader
Subramanyam says the wiretap was part of a corruption probe and covered calls from March 6 to April 5, according to court documents.
- On Thursday, Rep. Suhas Subramanyam revealed that the FBI and Justice Department monitored his phone calls with Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas from March 6 to April 5 as part of a corruption probe.
- Federal agents searched Lucas's Portsmouth office and an associated business in May as part of an investigation into alleged bribery that reportedly originated under Biden, though no charges have been filed.
- Calling the surveillance "extremely suspicious," Subramanyam alleged it was politically motivated, describing the investigation as a "vendetta" against Democrats and questioning if his Oversight role influenced the monitoring.
- Subramanyam asked, "Were they keeping tabs on me in any way because I'm on Oversight?" while requesting information on how investigators utilized his intercepted communications.
- Federal wiretap notifications are mandated by law once surveillance ends, explaining why Subramanyam was only recently informed of the monitoring that occurred months earlier.
