Federal agents spent more than six hours Tuesday, November 10, searching a Laurel County residence belonging to former London Mayor Randall Weddle. According to Kentucky Lantern, dozens of FBI personnel participated in the operation, removing boxes of materials from the property. The FBI confirmed the activity was court-authorized but has not disclosed the investigation’s purpose. Weddle separately faces four felony campaign finance charges related to contributions made during Gov. Andy Beshear’s 2023 reelection campaign. He has pleaded not guilty. The federal investigation remains ongoing, and no connection to the pending state charges has been established publicly.
