FBI searches Annapolis GOP fundraising firm
Firm was formerly associated with firm operated by Paul Manafort
ANNAPOLIS, Md. —
FBI agents executed a search warrant Thursday at an office of a fundraising and consulting firm in Annapolis that works for Republican candidates and conservative causes nationwide, the 11 News I-Team has learned.
The investigation is being run out of Washington, not locally, the I-Team has learned. The Washington FBI office said the investigation, including the raid, is being done with “fierce coordination.”
An FBI spokesperson said don't expect a release of documents "anytime soon."
The FBI used trash bags to cover a window at the third-floor offices of Strategic Campaign Group at 191 Main St. Two agents, with FBI on their body armor, started to tape trash bags over the glass door blocking out any view of what is going on inside. One of the agents had a side arm, one was wearing blue surgical gloves.
The FBI is not saying what the warrant is for.
