Abigail Spanberger actually showed a little restraint in her reaction to the FBI raid.
“At this point do you stand by the Senator? Or are you concerned? Because our sources are telling us this is about bribery and corruption,” a WJLA reporter asked Spanberger.
Spanberger replied, “Well, certainly I’m aware of the law enforcement action that occurred in Portsmouth and I’m awaiting more details to become public before weighing in with any strong public comment and as more information becomes available, I look forward to making further comment.”
