In the wake of revelations that Mayor Eric Adams was personally subpoenaed last month by federal authorities in connection with an ongoing probe into his 2021 campaign, the mayor insisted he and his campaign did “nothing wrong,” while also comparing subpoenas to public records requests that his office routinely receives.
In addition to the mayor, City Hall and his 2021 campaign were hit with three subpoenas in July — news first reported by the New York Times on Thursday night. With the recently served subpoenas, federal investigators are requesting text messages, other forms of communications and documents related to travel and fundraising by the mayor and some of his close aides, according to the Times’ report.
