FBI agents conducted searches this week at the residences of three key deputies to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Electronic devices were seized from the homes of Phillip Banks, the deputy mayor for public safety, and Sheena Wright, the first deputy mayor. Additionally, the home of Timothy Pearson, a former high-ranking official in the New York Police Department who advises the mayor on public safety, was also searched.
Spokespersons for the FBI and Mayor Adams declined to provide any comments regarding the searches. Benjamin Brafman, an attorney for Phillip Banks, confirmed the search at his client's home but refrained from further elaboration.
