NewsChannel 5 spotted agents working the halls of the Cordell Hull Building in downtown Nashville where legislative offices are located. An FBI agent stood guard outside the Franklin Republican's legislative office, while other agents were seen leaving offices of Reps. Robin Smith, R-Hixson, and Kent Calfee, R-Kingston.
These actions appear to concern allegations of bribery in securing Governor Bill Lee's school voucher legislation.
Nadine Korby, Kent Calfee's legislative assistant was placed on leave.
