LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MAY 20: Las Vegas City Councilwoman and Mayor Pro Tem Michele Fiore speaks during a Las Vegas City Council meeting held amid the coronavirus pandemic at Las Vegas City Hall on May 20, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Due to concerns about COVID-19, safety precautions were put in place, including social distancing inside the chambers, having hand sanitizer available and medically screening anyone from the public attending.

Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore, best known for her twin obsessions with guns and shooting Black Lives Matter protesters, is being investigated by the federal government. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Fiores campaign finances are in question. Two grand jury subpoenas have been served over the past several months following a January raid of the Trump-idolizing Councilwomans Las Vegas home.
KTNV reports a complaint filed against Fiore in July of 2020 in which Fiore is accused of using city resources to convince voters to re-elect President Donald Trump. In July of this year, the FBI reportedly showed up at the Las Vegas City Hall and interviewed former Fiore ally City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman. Seaman and Fiore had a falling out in the summer of 2020, and the FBI said it could neither confirm nor deny that they were interviewing people concerning Fiore. Seaman told reporters, I can confirm that they were at City Hall and that they interviewed me about Fiore.
To paraphrase Fiores message to families grieving those killed by gun violence: thoughts and prayers.
