According to the New York Times, investigators were also seeking to “learn more about the potential involvement of a Brooklyn construction company with ties to Turkey, as well as a small university in Washington, D.C., that also has ties to the country and to Mr. Adams.”

“According to the search warrant, investigators were also focused on whether the mayor’s campaign kicked back benefits to the construction company’s officials and employees, and to Turkish officials,” it reported.

I'm sure she's crooked, like everyone else in what's euphemistically called "fundraising," and I'm also sure no one would have done anything about it if Adams hadn't made a nuisance of himself.

Mayor Eric Adams

On my way to DC to join my fellow mayors to talk with our federal partners about the asylum seeker crisis. Follow along throughout the day.

“The mayor heard of an issue related to the campaign, and takes these issues seriously, so he wanted to get back to New York as quickly as possible. He plans to return to Washington and reschedule these meetings as soon as he can,” said Deputy Mayor Fabian Levy.

Such a convenient rain check. Maybe reschedule for 2025 unless you really want that FBI investigation to... expand, Mayor Adams.

Slapped down for getting too big for his britches.

Sure looks like it. I see ZH is drawing the same conclusion.

In an era in which Democrats are credibly accused of weaponizing federal law enforcement against political adversaries, it's worth nothing that Adams has been a gadfly of the Biden administration, frequently and pointedly condemning its negligence in the face of a migrant crisis that has overwhelmed New York City.

Indeed, on the very morning of the federal raid, that's what he was in Washington to talk about:

I guess the White House is getting annoyed with his constant carping about the illegal aliens overwhelming his city.

And that $5 billion could go to a foreign country, damn it! Pull yourself together, man! Shipping taxpayer dollars overseas is the priority!
