FBI Raids Homes Of 2 Top Aides To Mayor Adams: Report

NEW YORK CITY — The homes of two top aides to Mayor Eric Adams were raided by the FBI on Wednesday, according to reports.

FBI agents arrived at the homes of First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks, NBC News reported.

The raids were first reported by The City.

The reason for the raids wasn't immediately clear as of Thursday afternoon.

A law enforcement source told the outlet that the searches were not related to the Turkey investigation.

In March, FBI agents searched the homes of two city officials close to Adams as part of an investigation into whether his campaign conspired with the Turkish government to receive illegal campaign contributions, according to the report.

In July, Adams was subpoenaed by federal prosecutors investigating his 2021 campaign finances.

We've been extremely transparent about making sure if there are documents that's looked at, they're going to see text messages or any other items, Adams told J.R. Giddings on GMGT Live’s “The Reset Talk Show" on Aug. 16.

"We're going to turn it over and walk away. I believe, showing that I did nothing wrong."

Currently, none of Adams' campaign staff or the mayor himself have been charged with any wrongdoing.
