Here are some things you shouldn’t say on a phone call when you’re a top state official allegedly involved in drug trafficking.
“This is our last chance at generational wealth,” Virginia Senate President Pro Temp Louise Lucas allegedly told a co-conspirator on a phone call. “I’ve got too old to not be greedy”.
Lucas is 82, but getting greedy will probably mean that she’ll spend her last years battling federal charges and, if she lives long enough, in prison.
The Point previously reported on the shocking raid that shook up Virginia’s Democrat political establishment.
The FBI has raided the office of a powerful Virginia Democratic lawmaker and ally of Gov. Abigail Spanberger as part of a federal corruption and illegal marijuana sale probe, Fox News has learned. Longtime state Sen. L. Louise Lucas, a major power broker in Virginia politics who stumped for Spanberger on the campaign trail in 2025, is now at the center of a major FBI corruption probe, according to federal law enforcement sources.
Now the official indictment is in and it’s really something.
Today, an eight-count indictment charged seven defendants for their respective roles in a racketeering conspiracy involving marijuana distribution, money laundering, honest services fraud through bribery, maintaining drug-involved premises, possession of firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking, and wire fraud.
According to the indictment, Virginia state senator Lillie Louise Lucas, 82, of Portsmouth, Virginia, led a criminal enterprise (the Lucas Enterprise) comprised of a close-knit group of associates and family members, including her two daughters and her grandson. Lucas allegedly approved and directed activities of the enterprise, including arranging for the acquisition and distribution of 100 kilograms or more of marijuana and supervising the laundering of marijuana proceeds.
