Ben Affleck Clarifies FBI Visit During L.A. Wildfires

Ben Affleck clarified the circumstances surrounding the FBI's visit to his home after reports surfaced in January that he was under investigation. In an interview with GQ, Affleck expressed his surprise upon learning about the FBI's presence, stating that he initially found out through media reports. He confirmed that the FBI's visit was related to a break-in at a nearby federal official's home, not an investigation involving him or a drone crash, as some reports suggested. Affleck noted that the FBI rang the doorbells of various homes in the area, which led to paparazzi capturing the agents outside his residence. He emphasized that he had no prior knowledge of the situation and had only called the FBI to understand the reason for their visit. The FBI later confirmed their presence in the area was part of a broader investigation related to unauthorized drone activity during the Palisades Fire.
