BREAKING: 82 year old Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas, one of the most powerful Democrats in the Virginia Legislature, has been indicted on federal racketeering, marijuana trafficking and money laundering conspiracy charges.Lucas surrendered to authorities Thursday morning, according to the Justice Department. She faces five of the eight counts in the indictment.Federal prosecutors allege Lucas led a family-run enterprise that bought and sold more than 100 kilograms of illegal marijuana and laundered the proceeds. Her daughters, Lisa Lucas-Burke and Theresa Lucas-Lamb, and grandson Ryan Eichelberger were also indicted along with other co-defendants.The indictment alleges Lucas used her position as chair of the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee to shield the operation from criminal scrutiny and push legislation that benefited the business. Prosecutors also allege she accepted a bribery payment and failed to disclose her interest in a business on her required state financial disclosure forms.The charges come about six months after FBI agents searched Lucas' office and The Cannabis Outlet, a Portsmouth marijuana shop she co-owns. The investigation began under the Biden administration.Lucas, the president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate, gained national attention this year for leading the push to redraw Virginia's congressional map in favor of Democrats.Lucas has not been convicted of any crime and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty i#BreakingNewse#Virginia #PublicCorruptionCorruption ...
