Feds Probe NYC Mayor’s Campaign Over Possible Illegal Money From Turkey

The federal government is conducting a broad corruption probe into the 2021 campaign of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The focus: Determining if his campaign plotted with the Turkish government to bypass campaign laws and funnel foreign cash into the campaign through the use of “straw donors” — that is, through the names of other people or entities who may otherwise legally make contributions.

Thursday morning brought the jarring first public indicator of the investigation, as federal agents raided the home of Brianna Suggs, the principal fundraiser of the 2021 campaign. The New York Times, which obtained a copy of the search warrant and broke the news of the focus on Turkey, reports that agents seized phones, computers, papers and binders.

Adams hasn’t been accused of any illegal conduct — not yet, anyhow. At the time of the raid, Adams was in Washington DC for several meetings with senior White House officials, federal legislators and others. When he learned about the raid on his fundraiser’s home, he cancelled them all and rushed back to New York.

  1. not defending Eric Adams in any way, shape, or form…but how interesting that the more he squawks about the illegals in New York, NOW they going after him? The Dems always eat their own…when they are being hauled away by the jack booted thugs they will scream, “But I voted Democrat!”
