The FBI declined to comment and the U.S. attorney's office in Memphis said it "will not comment on the nature or progress of any FBI activities before charges are publicly filed."

Brandon Puttbrese, spokesman for the Senate Democratic Caucus said, "We've been made aware of the investigation and have received no indication that it relates to the legislature or her legislative service. Because the investigation is ongoing, we will not be making additional statements and will defer any further questions to Sen. Robinson's attorney."
