(New York, NY) – Federal prosecutors in New York served another round of grand jury subpoenas on Mayor Eric Adams as part of a nearly year long investigation into possible corruption of Mayor Adams and his 2021 campaign.
This new batch of subpoenas, first reported by The New York Times, were issued in July and sought communications and documents. Mayor Adams has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
The investigation, at least in part, involves whether Adams and his campaign sought illegal donations from Turkey in exchange for pressuring the fire department to rush an inspection of the new Turkish consulate. Investigators also examined whether Adams received upgrades on Turkish Airlines flights.
In November of 2023, FBI agents seized his electronic devices as part of the investigation, days after federal agents searched the Brooklyn home of Adams’ top campaign fundraiser, 25-year-old Brianna Suggs.
No charges have been filed against the mayor.
