Virginia state Senator L. Louise Lucas, eighty‑two, was charged with racketeering and money laundering conspiracy tied to a cannabis business she co‑owns. Federal authorities announced the indictment on Thursday, and Lucas surrendered to the FBI. She faces additional charges of conspiracy to distribute marijuana. The case also involves her daughters and other associates. The Justice Department noted the investigation began before the Trump administration, and the charges were filed just weeks before the midterm election. Lucas issued a statement saying she will not be intimidated and will continue to fight against perceived silencing.
