According to NBC New York, the FBI searched Gracie Mansion, the residence of NYC Mayor Eric Adams, on Thursday morning. The FBI declined to comment, but Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro, called the operation a “spectacle,” noting that Adams was not arrested and is looking forward to his day in court.
Federal charges against Adams are expected, potentially making him the first sitting NYC mayor to face prosecution, though the exact charges remain unclear. Adams denies any wrongdoing, calling the accusations false and politically motivated.
He vowed to fight the allegations and stated he would not resign, insisting he could still lead the city. The search is part of ongoing investigations into Adams’ fundraising and ties to Turkey, including potential improper contributions linked to his 2021 mayoral campaign.
