Logan Paul has spoken out about the FBI raiding his younger brother Jake’s house.
On Wednesday morning, the YouTuber’s mansion in Calabasas was searched by the FBI “in connection with an ongoing investigation”.
It’s unknown why the authorities obtained a search warrant on Jake’s house, but aerial footage showed officers seizing a number of guns on the property.
After the news hit headlines, Jake’s attorney confirmed the social media star was out of state at the time, but didn’t reveal why the FBI were searching the property.

Speaking on his podcast Impaulsive, Jake’s older brother Logan said: “I’ll tell you what I know. I know what you know. I don’t know s**t.”
“I know my brother’s okay, physically he’s fine, but I don’t know. I’m out of the loop on this one guys.”
“Yeah, I checked in on him, he’s fine, physically,” he continued. “It’s a bit of a headache, we’re figuring it out.”
“This story will unfold, but I want you guys to know that we’re here to support Jake Paul, and hopefully this comes out in a healthy, amicable way for all parties.”
According to reports, police officials also executed a federal search warrant at the home of Jake’s associate Arman ‘Armani’ Izadi in Las Vegas this week.
Both warrants are sealed as part of an ongoing investigation, but a spokesperson for the FBI’s Phoenix field office told Insider that the investigation is related to “criminal acts surrounding the incident at Scottsdale Fashion Square in May 2020.”
Jake was charged with two misdemeanors back in May, after he filmed looters amid the Black Lives Matter protests in Scottsdale, Arizona.
However, The Sun has reported that the charges were eventually dropped to facilitate the pursuit of a federal investigation.
