Surveillance Allegations

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, a Democrat from Virginia, has accused the FBI and Justice Department of monitoring his phone calls. The congressman revealed that these calls included conversations with Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas. According to Subramanyam’s statement, the federal agencies disclosed the surveillance details, linking it to a corruption probe into Lucas.

“This is deeply concerning,” Subramanyam expressed. He criticized Trump’s administration, alleging that the Justice Department acted as Trump’s personal law firm.

Subramanyam questioned the timing of the wiretap, noting it overlapped with decisions regarding a new congressional map and a court ruling. From provided documents, surveillance reportedly occurred from March 6 to April 5 and again from April 14 to May 14. A revised congressional map was narrowly approved on April 21, only to be blocked by Virginia’s Supreme Court on May 8.

The FBI did not offer comments, while the Justice Department has yet to respond to inquiries.
