It has been confirmed by the mayor’s office that seizure took place on Monday. Mayor has denied any wrongdoing.
“As a former member of law enforcement, I expect all members of my staff to follow the law and fully cooperate with any sort of investigation – and I will continue to do exactly that. I have nothing to hide,” said Adams in a statement.
The investigation seeks to determine whether his campaign has been the recipient of any illegal foreign donations from Turkey with a Brooklyn construction company as a conduit sources. Earlier, in the investigation, the federal official has conducted a house search of Brianna Suggs, who was the main fundraiser in Adams’ campaign.
