A slew of top Adams administration officials had their homes searched and electronics seized by federal law enforcement last week, catapulting a previously unknown pair of Justice Department investigations into public view.
Federal agents executed search warrants on some of the highest-ranking officials in the Adams administration on the morning of Sept. 4, according to several published reports. They include NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban; First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright; her long-time partner, Schools Chancellor David Banks; his brother, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks; and Tim Pearson — a senior public safety adviser to the mayor.
