The plush house, located in the exclusive gated community of Manhasset, remains the focus of the investigation, with the motives for the sudden pre-dawn raid currently unclear.
Reports suggest that neither Sun, 40, nor her husband Chris Hu, 41, are facing any charges or allegations of wrongdoing.
No arrests were made and authorities have not yet clarified the reasons behind the raid.
The search warrant was obtained by the US Attorney's office in Brooklyn, according to sources.
The couple had owned the property until recently, with property records showing they transferred the property to a trust in March.
Sun has worked in various New York State government positions during his 15-year career, serving in both the Hochul and former Governor Andrew Cuomo administrations.

The FBI's abrupt pre-dawn raid leaves the couple's future decidedly uncertain, and the wider implications of this development are yet to come to light.
