The FBI raids on two top aides to Mayor Eric Adams mark a drastic escalation in the investigation surrounding his 2021 campaign, which has increasingly come under federal scrutiny.
Federal agents have conducted investigations into five of Adams' close allies, amidst allegations of a kickback scheme that intersects with City Hall and the Turkish government.
Mayor Adams himself has faced legal challenges, including a grand jury subpoena, amid ongoing investigations into campaign fundraising irregularities and the potential improprieties associated with his close associates.
Although not accused of any wrongdoing, the pressure on Adams and his aides is palpable, indicating a significant wave of federal scrutiny that could impact city governance.
