"On Friday, September 20, federal authorities executed search warrants at my residences. They took materials that came into my possession approximately 20 years ago and are unrelated to my work with the New York City Police Department,” the statement said.
“This is not a department matter, and the department will not be commenting,” Donlon added.

Donlon did not comment on the nature of the investigation.
Donlon took over the top cop position following Edward Caban's resignation amid a federal investigation into alleged corruption, Patch previously reported.
Caban's departure came after his home was one of those raided by federal authorities on Sept. 4 along with other Adams officials, Patch previously reported.
The commissioner's phone was seized in the raid, as federal authorities investigate possible corruption.
Caban’s twin brother, James Caban, is also being eyed by authorities.
Federal authorities subpoenaed Molly Schaeffer, director of Asylum-Seeker Operations, on Friday, according to an ABC News report.
It’s unclear whether the subpoena was related to any of the ongoing federal investigations into Adams’ campaign.
Schaeffer directed questions to the mayor's press office when reached by phone.
