Federal agents are in the process of executing a search warrant on the studios and offices of Na Leo ‘O Hawaii public access cable television in Hilo.
“The case is ongoing. We’re not going to give out any details other than confirming it is us,” said Jason White, a special agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Honolulu office.
The president and CEO of Na Leo is Stacy Higa, a former Hawaii County councilman who finished fifth in a crowded mayoral primary election race in August.
Asked if the search had anything to do with federal funding or if anyone was arrested, White said it’s “just a search” of Na Leo’s location at 91 Mohouli St. and declined to say what agents are searching for.
