The FBI has seized New York City Mayor Eric Adams' electronic devices as part of an ongoing investigation involving his top fundraiser.
Adams and his campaign attorney confirmed the investigation on Friday after the FBI initially approached the mayor on Monday.
"After learning of the federal investigation, it was discovered that an individual had recently acted improperly," campaign attorney Boyd Johnson told Newsweek in a statement. "In the spirit of transparency and cooperation, this behavior was immediately and proactively reported to investigators."
He went on: "The mayor has been and remains committed to cooperating in this manner. 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. The mayor has not been accused of any wrongdoing and continues to cooperate with the investigation."
