The FBI seized Mayor Eric Adams’ phone and other electronic devices earlier this week in connection with a federal corruption investigation into his 2021 mayoral campaign, according to the mayor’s campaign.
The revelation comes just a week after the investigation was thrust into public view when the home of Adams’ top fundraiser — Brianna Suggs — was raided by federal agents last Thursday. Authorities questioned 25-year-old Suggs and reportedly walked out of her house with three phones, two laptops and a “manila folder labeled Eric Adams” — according to reporting from the New York Times.
