Homeland Security Raids Jim Bob And Michelle Duggar’s Home As Part Of ‘Ongoing Federal Criminal Investigation’ – By Nathan Francis (Inquisitr) / Nov 19 2019
The home of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar was raided by officials from the Department of Homeland Security in what the department called part of an “ongoing federal criminal investigation,” confirming rumors that the family was facing a federal criminal inquiry.
Local news station KNWA confirmed that Homeland Security Investigations raided the 19 Kids and Counting family’s Arkansas home last week, though it did not give details regarding the nature of the investigation. As In Touch Weekly noted, the federal department has jurisdiction over a number of different cases that include cross-border criminal activity. That includes financial crimes like money laundering, bulk cash smuggling, and commercial fraud.
Josh Duggar was sued earlier this year for real estate fraud, KNWA noted, though it was not clear if the federal investigation had any connection to the allegations. He is set to go to a jury trial starting next April.
The Duggar family has not yet issued any kind of statement about the criminal investigation. Jedidiah, the youngest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, was approached for an interview but could not give any further details.
