Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles is speaking out after the Federal Bureau of Investigation seized his cell phone.

His phone was taken August 2nd, the day after he beat Courtney Johnston in the U.S. House primary race for District 5.

In a post on X by Ogles yesterday (Tuesday), he says “It is his understanding that the FBI is   investigating the same well-known facts surrounding these filings.”  He says that it’s been widely reported for months that his campaign made mistakes in its initial financial filings and they have worked diligently with attorneys and reporting experts to correct the errors and ensure compliance going forward.

Ogles added that he will be cooperating with the FBI as he claims to have been doing with the Federal Election Commission.

He says he’s confident all involved will conclude that the reporting discrepancies were based on honest mistakes, and nothing more.

Ogles has represented the district since last year which includes Lewis, Maury and Marshall counties and parts of Davidson, Williamson and Wilson counties in Middle Tennessee.

As the elected primary Republican candidate, Ogles will now face the unopposed candidate in the Democratic Primary, and three independent candidates.
