WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) released the following statement:

"The FBI and DOJ recently informed me that my phone conversations with State Senator and President Pro Tempore Louise Lucas were being monitored as part of their investigation into Senator Lucas. This is deeply concerning.

Trump's DOJ has become his own personal law firm, with his former personal attorney carrying out vendettas on Trump's political enemies. They have politically investigated multiple states' Attorneys General and the former FBI director. Now they admit they have surveilled conversations by a sitting Democratic Congressman.

The timing of this wiretap and investigation is extremely suspicious. The tap took place between March and May, which was at the peak of campaigning for the redistricting referendum in Virginia. This was also while the Oversight Committee was calling on Pam Bondi to testify on the Epstein investigation. This should concern anyone who believes in a real Department of Justice that serves the American people and not a singular president.

If this surveillance was done to scare us and to get Democrats to stop pushing back against Trump's political overreach, they are mistaken. We will not back down. We will continue our investigations into this President and his corrupt administration."
