Boston Councilor Anderson faces federal probe, reports say

• In response to a public records request regarding subpoenas sent to City Hall, the City told the Globe it "is aware of responsive records."
• The subpoenas were not released to the media because the U.S. Attorney's Office says the "integrity of a grand jury investigation" could be affected, per the Globe.
• The nature of the investigation has not been reported. The U.S. Attorney's Office told Axios it does not confirm or deny investigations.

The other side: Anderson declined to comment when reached by the Globe and did not respond to an inquiry from Axios.

Catch up quick: She's the first Muslim, first formerly undocumented immigrant, and first African immigrant on the Council.

• Anderson became a U.S. citizen in 2019 after coming from Cape Verde at age 10.
• Her District 7 includes much of Roxbury and precincts in the South End and Fenway.

This isn't Anderson's first brush with controversy. Just last month, she was cited for failing to report $32,900 in campaign contributions and receiving donations exceeding state limits.

• In January, she went viral in conservative circles for appearing to not recite the oath of office during her inauguration and was asked to repeat it.
• In 2023, Anderson was hit with a $5,000 fine for hiring her sister and son to City Council staff positions.
