The feds are investigating whether the kidnapping of Lady Gaga’s dogs had a political motivation since she sang at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to a report.
The FBI is working on the case with Los Angeles police detectives, The Sun reported.
“Of course, Lady Gaga has a great profile, but she sang at President Biden’s inauguration, which takes this case to another level,” a source told the dam. “The FBI wants to know exactly what motivated this incident.”
An FBI spokesman referred The Sun to the LAPD, which is leading the investigation into dognapping, in which the singer’s dog walker was shot in the chest.
The representative noted that “the office provides resources if / where they are requested from our local partners,” according to The Sun, which said it reached the LAPD.

“When they [police] I arrived, went out and saw my neighbor on the other side giving help to the man who was shot, “he said.” He was compressing his chest, trying to stop the bleeding. He was saving his life.
“It simply came to our notice then. I think he was shot, although there were two shots, ”added Angel. “The wounded man said to our neighbor as he compressed the wound, ‘Those were Lady Gaga’s dogs, so that’s how we found out.’
