About a dozen Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) personnel were seen going in and out of Davidson County District Attorney Glenn Funk's offices in downtown Nashville last week as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, News Channel 5 reports. Technicians were seen using a device that, according to the manufacturer, is "designed to detect illicit eavesdropping signals." A TBI spokesperson confirmed the agents were at the office "working in an official capacity" but declined to speak about the "nature or scope of efforts." Funk released a statement saying his office "extended an invitation to the TBI and the Attorney General’s Office several weeks ago to come inspect our office security system. We are pleased they are finally here and we expect their investigation will find nothing inappropriate, much less illegal."
