The mayor affirmed that he will cooperate with justice and urged his entire team to do the same.
According to the New York Times, the search warrant for Ms. Suggs’ home was aimed at obtaining evidence of a conspiracy between the mayor’s campaign, the Turkish government and a Brooklyn real estate developer whose owners are Turkish.
The warrant reportedly said authorities were investigating whether donations from the government or Turkish nationals were made to Mr. Adams through a system in which fake contributors were allegedly listed.
The connection between the seizure of Mr. Adams’s devices and the search of Ms. Suggs’s home is not yet clear.
Boyd Johnson, the mayor’s lawyer, said“After learning of the federal investigation, it has become apparent that an individual has recently acted inappropriately”without specifying the details of the investigation to which he was referring.
