NYC Mayor Eric Adams Faces FBI Probe and Potential Prison Time

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and his legal team are cooperating with investigators as federal authorities probe whether Adams pressured officials to allow the opening of a Manhattan high-rise housing the Turkish Consulate General. The investigation comes after FBI agents seized Adams' electronic devices as part of a separate probe into campaign fundraising. The New York Times reported that Adams contacted the fire commissioner to urge the occupancy of the building despite safety concerns. The intervention is being examined as part of a broader public corruption investigation. Adams maintains his innocence and plans to take questions on Tuesday.
