In an extraordinary operation, federal agents descended upon the mayor’s home early Thursday morning.
As news spread that Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on federal charges, federal agents arrived to search New York City's Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the mayor, on Thursday.
“By smuggling their contributions to ADAMS through U.S.-based straw donors, ADAMS's overseas contributors defeated federal laws that serve to prevent foreign influence on U.S. elections,” the indictment alleges.Adams is accused of using New York City’s public matching-funds system to compound his gains, with the indictment alleging that because of bogus claims, Adams’ “2021 mayoral campaign received more than $10,000,000 in public funds.
In return, the indictment says, Adams granted the Turkish official’s request in September 2021 that he put pressure on the New York City Fire Department to ensure Turkey’s new consular building, a 36-story skyscraper, would open in time for a visit by Turkey's president -- despite not undergoing a fire inspection.
