Captured video footage showed agents outside White’s apartment in Southeast D.C., where they appeared to attempt access to his car, a silver Tesla with D.C. Council license plates.
A resident of the apartment complex, Seun Sanusi, commented on the situation, noting that FBI visits to the building are not uncommon. “To be honest, this is actually not the first time the FBI has been to our building,” Sanusi said, expressing hope that the situation isn’t too severe.
