The seizure comes just days after federal agents conducted a raid on the mayor's chief fundraiser's home.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has seized multiple devices from New York City Mayor Eric Adams amid a federal investigation into campaign fundraising, marking a significant escalation in the probe on Friday.
The Times said the raid on Adams' home — as part of a corruption investigation — happened earlier this week, but was later revealed publicly. Reports on Wednesdaysaid Mayor Adams had retained counsel at a law firm, responding to the raid on his fundraising chief Brianna Suggs' Brooklyn home. A spokesperson for the mayor's 2021 campaign said the mayor had retained Boyd Johnson, who is a WilmerHale partner as well as a former deputy U.S.
Johnson issued a statement that read,"On Monday night, the FBI approached the mayor after an event. The Mayor immediately complied with the FBI’s request and provided them with electronic devices."
