Breaking news out of New York City where we’re seeing reports that the FBI raided the offices of the NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association this morning:

But nobody seems to know what it’s about:
The FBI descended on the @SBANYPD as part of an ongoing law enforcement investigation, the @NewYorkFBI confirmed. The subject of the investigation was not immediately clear.

The union had come under fire last year for doxxing Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter after she was arrested during BLM protests:

There is going to be a lot of this from NYC Dems over the coming days:
Ed Mullins, who famously called me a "first-class whore" for daring to ask questions about the @SBANYPD, just got a first-class raid from the FBI. https://t.co/MgHwNdJ3g8

So far, there’s no response to the raid on their Twitter account:
We’ll keep you posted.
UPDATE
Feds left with two boxes of evidence:
