It\u2019s unclear if the raid was related to Burke\u2019s work for the president.<\/b>
\nOn Thursday morning, FBI agents raided the City Hall office of Chicago Alderman Ed Burke, a powerful figure in Illinois state politics and a former property tax attorney for Donald Trump.
It\u2019s not yet clear whether the search has anything to do with Trump. Details are scant and the FBI has not said who the target of the investigation is, or what the federal agents thought they might find in Burke\u2019s office.
But because Burke had worked for Trump on his Chicago real estate project, speculation immediately started flying about whether the FBI raid might be part of the bigger probe into the president.
Then again, it\u2019s also quite possible that the raid has nothing to do with Trump at all: Burke, Chicago\u2019s longest-serving alderman, has been the focus of federal investigations in the past.
Here\u2019s what we know and don\u2019t know about the raid.<\/p>\n
