f.b.i. agents arrived without warning and used search warrants to take documents and other materials. now a source with connections inside the building tells abc7 news the raid was conducted by a small team of investigators and done so in a calm and discreet manner. no noise made with this. an analyst we spoke with said the raid is an indication that the federal authorities are digging deep in the russia investigation. >> that suggests they might have picked up something from some of the intelligence services that they didn't get all the information. they know the russians are not going to supply that information. jeff: in a statement today, manafort's spokesperson saying, "mr. manafort consistently cooperated with law enforcement and other serious inquiries and did so on this occasion as well." i spoke earlier with a spokesperson for special counsel robert mueller and he would not confirm or
