As reported by ‘BBC‘, the F.B.I. broke open a safe at his residence. As per them, the search is reportedly connected to the handling of some classified and sensitive documents.
White reacted to it by saying, “It’s madness, man. The whole world is crazy right now. And I don’t know what to think and I don’t know enough about it and I haven’t talked to him.”
“I’ve only seen bits and pieces on the news. So I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but I’ll probably call him in the next couple of days.”

“I didn’t want to call him, like I’m sure he’s, you know, got better f**king things to do than for me to call and say ‘Hey, what’s going on over there?’ But I will talk to him in the next couple of days.”
A journalist further mentioned how people have been talking about living in a post-constitutional America or banana republic. To this, White replied, “… there’s ten other people’s houses that probably should have been raided before his that haven’t happened.”
