From Fox News: Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., announced on social media Tuesday that his phone was seized by the FBI last week – just one day after he won a Republican primary in the Volunteer State.
Ogles, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, shared a statement on X about the investigation, which reportedly involves campaign finance filings. Sources confirmed to Fox News that FBI agents executed a search warrant at his D.C. office last week.
“It has been widely reported for months that my campaign made mistakes in our initial financial filings,” the Tennessee politician said in his post. “We have worked diligently with attorneys and reporting experts to correct the errors and ensure compliance going forward.”
“Last Friday, the FBI took possession of my cell phone.”
“It is my understanding that they are investigating the same well-known facts surrounding these filings. I will of course fully cooperate with them, just as I have with the Federal Election Commission. I am confident all involved will conclude that the reporting discrepancies were based on honest mistakes, and nothing more,” he added in the social media post.

The report notes that Ogles just won a high-profile primary battle last Thursday against Nashville Metro Council member Courtney Johnston.
Former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson both endorsed Ogles.
Sean Davis of The Federalist wrote, “The FBI is a corrupt Stasi for the Biden-Harris regime, and it exists entirely to cover up the regime’s crimes and to persecute the regime’s enemies with entirely fabricated nonsense. This is no different.”

Commentator Joe Mannarino slammed the report, writing, “The FBI just raided Andy Ogles’s house last week. He’s a mega-conservative Congressman from Tennessee! He’s the author of the impeachment articles that were to oust Kamala Harris from her position due to her dereliction of duty on the border. And now, suddenly, the FBI is after him! Is this what we can expect for the political enemies of Kamala Harris?”
