New York: FBI officials in the US seized the phones and an iPad of New York City Mayor Eric Adams as part of their investigation into his fund-raising campaign. Mayor’s lawyer Boyd Johnson said in a statement on Friday that the FBI seized phones and iPads after an event on Monday night. The statement said, ‘The FBI contacted the mayor after an event on Monday night. The mayor immediately agreed to the FBI’s request and handed over his electronic items to them.
‘The mayor is not accused of doing anything wrong’
The statement issued by the lawyer said, ‘The mayor is not accused of doing anything wrong and he is cooperating in the investigation.’ ‘The New York Times’ was the first to report about the confiscation of phones etc. Federal authorities searched the home of Brianna Suggs, Adams’ key aide in the fundraising campaign. After this search operation, the mayor canceled a previously scheduled visit to Washington to meet White House officials and returned to New York.
‘I have nothing to hide’
Adams, a member of the Democrat Party, did not talk about his phones being confiscated. “As a former member of law enforcement, I expect all members of my staff to follow the law and cooperate fully with any investigation,” Adams said in a statement to CNN Friday night. I will do the same because I have nothing to hide. The FBI is investigating whether the mayor’s 2021 campaign conspired with a Brooklyn-based construction company to funnel foreign money into campaign coffers.
