BREAKING: FBI Seizes NYC Mayor Eric Adams' Devices Amid Campaign Investigation

On Friday, The New York Times reported that New York City Mayor Eric Adams had his phones seized by the FBI amid an ongoing investigation into his 2021 mayoral campaign that allegedly worked with the Turkish government and others to funnel money into the Democrat's campaign. Agents reportedly approached Mayor Adams on the street, asked his security detail to move away, and proceeded to enter a vehicle where they presented him with a warrant, and he was forced to surrender his various electronic devices.

The devices, which include at least two cell phones and an iPad, were eventually returned to the mayor a few days later, likely after the bureau made copies of the devices' contents. The seizure of his personal devices comes after the bureau raided the residence of Adams' chief fundraiser, 25-year-old Brianna Suggs. During the raid on November 2nd, agents confiscated two laptops, three iPhones, and a folder labeled "Eric Adams."

In response to the raid last week, Adams was forced to cancel his trip to Washington, D.C., where he was supposed to speak with the Biden White House about the ongoing migrant crisis impacting New York City. He explained that he canceled the trip in order to be there for his campaign team and for Suggs, who he said went through a "traumatic experience."

This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.
