According to a New York Post report, the FBI has seized the cell phones and iPad of New York City Mayor Eric Adams as part of a corruption investigation.
From The New York Post:
The feds seized the devices — which included at least two cellphones and an iPad — in connection to an investigation into whether Hizzoner’s campaign colluded with the Turkish government and others to direct money into his mayoral effort, sources told The Post, after the news was first reported by the New York Times.
Adams campaign attorney Boyd Johnson said an internal City Hall review discovered that “an individual had recently acted improperly” and it was immediately reported to the FBI, which triggered the seizure.
“After learning of the federal investigation, it was discovered that an individual had recently acted improperly. In the spirit of transparency and cooperation, this behavior was immediately and proactively reported to investigators,” Johnson said in a statement obtained by The Post.
“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. The mayor has not been accused of any wrongdoing and continues to cooperate with the investigation.”
