Feds subpoena Brooklyn church over possible business dealings between priest and ex-Adams chief of staff: sources

Federal investigators are exploring the connections between Mayor Eric Adams’ former chief of staff, Frank Carone, and Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello of the Brooklyn Diocese. They have launched a probe into their business and financial dealings, prompted by a subpoena issued to a Brooklyn church. This investigation appears to be in its early stages, with no accusations of wrongdoing against either Carone or Gigantiello at this time.

Frank Carone, who previously served as Mayor Eric Adams’ chief of staff and is currently leading his re-election campaign, operates a consulting firm that handles high-profile clients. His longstanding friendship with Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello raises eyebrows, particularly as both participated in a trip to Rome with Adams, where they met Pope Francis. Gigantiello's notoriety stems from a past demotion related to a controversial video shoot inside a church.
