FBI Raids $3.5M Home of Ex-Hochul Aide in Pre-Dawn Surprise

In the early hours of Tuesday, a normally quiet gated community in Manhasset, Long Island, experienced an unusual event. The FBI conducted a raid on the $3.5 million home of Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff for Gov. Kathy Hochul. Sun, who has held various roles in New York's political landscape under both Hochul and ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was suddenly thrust into the spotlight. The story was first reported by the New York Times.

The reason for the FBI’s visit remains unclear. Sources indicate that neither Sun nor her husband, Chris Hu, have been formally accused of any wrongdoing. Despite the presence of federal agents, the couple's legal status is, for now, unaffected.

Linda Sun, a graduate of Barnard College and Columbia University, has built a career focusing on business development, Asian American affairs, and diversity initiatives. After leaving Hochul’s team in late 2022, she joined the New York State Department of Labor.
Meanwhile, her husband Chris runs a liquor store in Flushing, Queens, and has been involved in various business ventures, including Medical Supplies USA LLC, which was established during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their red-bricked home, located in a tranquil cul-de-sac, is now under scrutiny. The FBI has not provided details about the reason for the search, leaving the community and the public curious. As the situation develops, people are left to wonder about the implications for Linda and Chris, while they continue with their daily lives, awaiting further information
