New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams is now speaking out after federal authorities raided the home of his top campaign fundraiser.
The FBI searched the Brooklyn home of Brianna Suggs Thursday, seizing cell phones and computers, according to the Associated Press. A search warrant stated that federal prosecutors are looking into whether Adams' campaign accepted donations from Turkey during his 2021 mayoral race, which is illegal under campaign finance law.
At this point it remains unclear whether Adams himself is a target of the investigation. During a party at the mayor's mansion Thursday night, Adams said he's always held his campaign to"the highest ethical standards." News of the raid came shortly after Adams was scheduled to attend a meeting with senior White House officials to discuss the growing migrant crisis in New York City.
Suggs is just one of several people involved in legal troubles regarding Adams' fundraising activity. Earlier this year, six others working for his campaign were charged in an alleged scheme to divert tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to help get Adams reelected.
