Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, a Democrat from Virginia, recently claimed that the FBI and the Justice Department monitored his phone conversations. These calls were with Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas, and Subramanyam was informed that the recordings were part of a corruption probe into Lucas.
This is deeply concerning,
Subramanyam stated, criticizing the Department of Justice under Trump for purported personal vendettas against political adversaries. Subramanyam highlighted the suspicious timing of the surveillance, coinciding with the state’s decision on a new Democratic-leaning congressional map and a subsequent court verdict.
According to Subramanyam, his discussions with Lucas were tapped between March 6 and April 5 and again from April 14 to May 14. Voters in Virginia narrowly approved the new congressional map on April 21, yet the state’s Supreme Court stopped its implementation with a ruling on May 8.
The FBI did not comment on the issue, and the Justice Department did not respond promptly to inquiries.
