The Feds are joining the state investigation into claims that Republicans illegally listened to confidential Democratic conference calls.
Eastern District U-S Attorney Paul McNulty will join Richmond Commonwealth's Attorney David Hicks in directing the inquiry.
Hicks had asked federal authorities to become involved because of a state law that limits how much Virginia State Police can do to investigate legislators.
Former state Republican Party executive director Ed Matricardi was indicted last month on four felony wiretapping charges.
Two other Republican staffers have been implicated, but have not been charged.
