FBI Raids Home of Former Aide to Governor Hochul

In a significant development, the FBI conducted a raid earlier this week at the Long Island residence of former New York Governor Kathy Hochul's aide, who has not been publicly identified. An FBI spokesperson confirmed that the operation was court-authorized but did not disclose the specific reasons for targeting the home in Manhasset. The agency's actions have raised questions, prompting inquiries to Hochul's office, which have yet to receive a response. The individuals involved, 40-year-old Sun and her husband Chris Hu, 41, have not been accused of any wrongdoing, and no arrests were made during the raid, according to reports from the New York Post. Legal expert Paul Mauro emphasized the seriousness of the situation, noting that while no formal accusations exist, the approval of a search warrant indicates a significant level of scrutiny. The warrant was issued by the US Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn, which has also declined to comment on the investigation. Property records indicate that the couple's home was transferred into a trust in March, suggesting potential legal maneuvering. Sun previously served in Hochul's executive chamber for 15 months before transitioning to a role at the New York State Department of Labor in 2022. Reports suggest she left public service last year following allegations of misconduct, which were reportedly referred to law enforcement. Efforts to contact Sun and Hu for further comment have been unsuccessful, leaving many questions unanswered regarding the nature of the investigation.
