SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — FBI agents were at the Illinois state capitol building in Springfield related to law enforcement work, a bureau spokesman said Tuesday.
The spokesman, John Althen, wouldn’t provide details, saying only that “FBI personnel are present at the state capitol engaged in authorized law enforcement activity.”
Several men in dark suits and ties could be seen walking from the Senate Democrats’ side of the Capitol, carrying materials in two bankers’ boxes and packed grocery bags. The word “evidence” could be seen written across at least one of the bags.
Multiple media outlets reported that state Sen. Martin Sandoval’s Springfield office and other locations related to him were raided. The Chicago Tribune reported that a man who answered the door at Sandoval’s Chicago home said he was not home.
