RLL's FBI investigation

While the reasoning behind the bureau's visit to RLL's headquarters in Zionsville, Indiana remains unknown, reports have emerged revealing staff were asked to step back from computers and other electronic devices.

In a statement, the team said: "We are cooperating fully with investigators.

"Given that this is an ongoing investigation, we are limited in what information we can share right now, but we intend to provide additional information as soon as we can."

John Stehr, the Zionsville mayor, also revealed: "The FBI asked us to assist this morning as they served a warrant at the [Rahal Letterman Lanigan] headquarters building.

"Our officers stayed outside as the FBI agents entered the building."
