The federal criminal investigation into New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams' 2021 campaign reportedly focuses in part around whether Adams, then-Brooklyn borough president, pressured New York Fire Department officials to sign off on a Turkish government construction project in the city despite safety concerns.
Adams' alleged intervention 'paved the way' for Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan to preside over the grand opening of their 35-story tower in September 2021, the report said. Fire officials said that there were serious safety concerns with the building's fire safety system. The building, which cost $300 million, is the country's most expensive foreign mission project, the report said.
