Louise Lucas, 82, is under fire after allegedly diverting $300,000 in campaign funds—$200K to a D.C. law firm and $100K to a legal defense fund—just days before a new state law went into effect banning campaign money from personal use. The move comes amid an FBI raid on her office in May, which she claims was politically motivated. Reports also suggest her phone calls have been monitored, though she denies knowledge and the FBI remains silent. With decades of leadership in the Senate, Lucas now faces mounting scrutiny over her legal spending and campaign finances.
