NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — FBI agents executed a search warrant late last week on Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles as the first-term Republican faces continuing scrutiny over fraudulent campaign financial reports that he filed, NewsChannel 5 has confirmed.

Reached by telephone Tuesday, Ogles’ attorney declined to comment, although he did not deny that his client had been targeted for a search by federal authorities. …… Execution of the search warrant came immediately after Ogles defeated Courtney Johnston in the Republican primary as he seeks a second term in the U.S. Congress. Department of Justice guidelines generally prohibit law enforcement from taking any overt actions in investigations of a political candidate in the 60 days before an election.

Back in May, Ogles filed a series of amended campaign financial reports, admitting he had not personally loaned his campaign $320,000 as he had reported back in 2022.

Other amendments to his campaign financial reports resulted in Ogles retracting claims regarding thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and expenditures that he had previously reported to the Federal Election Commission.

Sounds dicey, but not enough information to judge.

Not enough info on this but past investigations into Republicans seem par for the course for the Biden/Harris administration.

Baloney. Dems lie to get rid of another repub. Dems do this stuff all the time but w them “it is always different”.

How abt Walz DUI or his STOLEN VALOR charge. But for him it is DIFFERENT.

What ever happened to NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

I don’t like Walz myself, but there’s no evidence that he ever committed “stolen valor” and a long-ago DUI misdemeanor doesn’t make a good felony comparison.

That they moved in AFTER he won the primary tells all. So now now the Dem runs unopposed?

Isn’t that what they plan on doing to Trump?

His fellow Minnesota Guardsmen believe he is a fraud, AND that he resigned from the Guard to avoid going to Iraq.

You’re talking about Walz, not Ogles.

Since when does that stop people (FReepers included) from immediately rushing to pass judgment?

“. . . continuing scrutiny over fraudulent campaign financial reports that he filed . . .

It seems like just recently that journalist always found a way to work the words “allegedly” or “suspect” into a crime story.

Trump Rally Shooting

The FBI identified the suspected gunman. Here’s what we
know.

The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks as the suspected gunman.

If you’re an American and a Republican, you can bet the fascist Government Nazis will be coming for you sooner or later to JaySix yo keister. That’s the way fascist governments always work.

Waltz quit his commission after he learned his unit was going to Iraq.

In some ways a DUI is worse. A campaign finance issue can’t kill anyone.

It’s lawfare.

Dems are still angry about TN redistricting the 5th district and losing a solid Dem seat.

Ogles is one of the good guys, a rock solid conservative. This is more of Merrick Garland’s Dept. of Injustice persecution of conservatives, via the Feral Bureau of Intimidation.

Correct. Of more interest is his position on parental rights, and his history in China.

So they are going after him for correcting the record by filing accurate amended returns?

Or are the amended returns inaccurate?

If he was a Democrat he would be treated differently... they don’t raid Democrats for amending returns or Bill and Hillary and a bunch of rat congressmen would have been raised repeatedly.
