NEW YORK (AP) — FBI agents quietly seized phones and an iPad from New York
City Mayor Eric Adams early this week as part of an investigation into
political fundraising during his 2021 campaign, his attorney disclosed
Friday.

The seizures happened as Adams was leaving a public event in Manhattan,
according to a statement from the mayor’s attorney, Boyd Johnson.

“On Monday night, the FBI approached the mayor after an event. The Mayor
immediately complied with the FBI’s request and provided them with
electronic devices,” Johnson said. “The mayor has not been accused of any
wrongdoing and continues to cooperate with the investigation.”

The seizure of the devices, first reported by The New York Times, came four
days after federal agents searched the Brooklyn home of Adams’ top campaign
fundraiser, Brianna Suggs. That search prompted the mayor to cancel a
planned trip to meet with White House officials in Washington and instead
return to New York.
