New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks said Friday his attorney has assured him that he is not a target of a federal investigation that saw his home searched and phones seized by the FBI last week.
Banks made the remarks during his first news conference since last week’s federal action, in which authorities raided the homes of several of Mayor Eric Adams’ top aides. He opened the press briefing, about kicking off the first school year, by briefly addressing and taking questions on the federal raids, which he referred to as the “elephant in the room.”
