Sources tell @NC5 that search warrants were executed simultaneously at 7 a.m. on five individuals - including two Casada aides and two Republican allies in the legislature. The former House speaker was still in his bathrobe.pic.twitter.com/pCiupszf2q

About an hour later, Casada could be seen through his front door, now dressed, as a full FBI search team arrived at his condo. Camera flashes could be seen through window shades as agents photographed the scene.pic.twitter.com/PQym4wC3Ny

NewsChannel 5 also spotted FBI agents outside the home of former Casada legislative aide Holt Whitt. They drove him down the street to talk and saw him hand over phone. Whitt is now House Speaker Cameron Sexton's chief of staff, but this investigation is NOT related to Sexton.

FBI agents were also spotted inside legislative offices of Rep. Kent Calfee of Kingston. This one is perplexing because, based on prior interviews, I did not have the sense that Calfee was particularly fond of Casada.pic.twitter.com/oiOGNPWYsp

But this is just the beginning, a well-placed source tells me, because agents are really curious about stuff they might find on computers and other electronic devices.
