FBI Probes Illegal Foreign Contributions in NYC Mayor's Fundraiser Raid

The FBI is investigating whether New York City Mayor Eric Adams' 2021 mayoral campaign conspired with a Brooklyn-based construction company to funnel foreign money into the campaign through "straw contributors" from the Turkish-American community. The investigation focuses on illegal contributions from foreign nationals, which were allegedly disguised as donations from American citizens. FBI agents executed search warrants at multiple locations, including the home of Adams' chief fundraiser. Adams has emphasized his compliance with rules and procedures and canceled a trip to Washington, DC, to address the campaign issue.
