Prosecutor Hagan Scotten revealed that federal investigators have struggled to access Mayor Eric Adams' locked personal cellphone nearly a year after it was seized, calling it a "significant wild card" in the corruption case. This raises questions about the mayor's real intent, especially considering his sudden memory lapse regarding the device's password right after the phone was taken by authorities in November 2023.
Adams handed over his cellphone to the feds, claiming he changed the password to prevent his staff from deleting contents due to the ongoing investigation. However, he subsequently stated that he had forgotten the newly set password, which has led to skepticism about whether this was a genuine oversight or an attempt to obstruct justice.
