“She hopes to learn more details this evening and will have a statement tomorrow.”

Warren, who is facing campaign finance fraud charges, is also accused of lying to the public about the 2020 death of Daniel Prude, who suffocated while under arrest and died a week later.

In February, a grand jury voted not to indict the Rochester police officers involved in his death.

Officials did not say why Lovely Warren’s house was investigated.
