ALBANY—State and federal investigators last week seized papers, a laptop and cell phones belonging to Frances Libous, a vice chair of the Workers Compensation Board and the wife of a top Republican senator, two people familiar with the raid said.

Agents from the F.B.I. and office of state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman executed a search warrant at the Libous' Binghamton home as part of a joint investigation, the people said. The nature of the probe was not immediately clear.

A spokesman for Schneiderman declined to comment and an F.B.I. spokesperson did not return a call.
