Mayor Adams notes seriousness of latest federal probe into his admin, but remains tight-lipped about it

Following revelations of the latest federal probe into senior City Hall figures, Mayor Eric Adams acknowledged Tuesday the investigation’s seriousness without revealing much new information about it.

Adams kicked off his weekly news conference, which he held over video conference after he tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, by directly addressing federal agents raiding the homes and confiscating the devices of some of his top deputies last Thursday. He began his remarks by noting that he feels the “awesome weight” of being the city’s mayor with his “whole heart.”
