FBI Probes Potential Illegal Donations to NYC Mayor Adams

The FBI has searched the home of Brianna Suggs, Mayor Eric Adams's chief fundraiser, as part of an investigation into whether his campaign received illegal foreign campaign contributions from the Turkish government and Turkish nationals disguised as donations from US donors. This is the second time Adams's campaign has been scrutinized for a straw donor scheme. While neither Adams nor Suggs have been accused of wrongdoing, the investigations focus on whether donors sought to mask large donations by funneling them through straw donors. The inquiries also raise questions about the campaign's vetting process for donations. Adams has denied any knowledge of illegal contributions.
