FBI seizes NYC Mayor Eric Adams' phones as part of a fundraising probe

The FBI has taken possession of New York City Mayor Eric Adams' electronic devices as part of an investigation into his campaign financing. The devices, suspected to be two iPhones and an iPad, were confiscated by agents on Monday night. According to reports, the investigation is centered around whether the campaign collaborated with the Turkish government to receive illegal foreign donations. Adams denies any wrongdoing and has pledged his full cooperation with the ongoing investigation. This development marks the first direct involvement of Adams in the probe, following a raid at the home of his top campaign fundraiser last week. The search warrant suggests that prosecutors are examining potential violations of campaign finance law, including whether there were any benefits or kickbacks exchanged for the donations.
