FILE - In this April 30, 2014 file photo, State Rep. Gordon Fox, D-Providence, former Rhode Island house speaker, speaks across an aisle to lawmakers on the floor of the Statehouse in Providence, R.I.

The U.S. Attorney’s office has not said what it is investigating, or even who the office is targeting. The probe became public March 21 when authorities raided Fox’s home and Statehouse office. He resigned as speaker the next day. (AP Photo/Steven Senne, File)
