Recent developments have seen federal investigators seizing phones from the residences of several prominent New York City officials, including two deputy mayors and the police commissioner. This action, as per sources familiar with the matter, is distinct from the FBI's ongoing probe into City Hall officials.
The investigation, which unfolded in the early hours of Wednesday, involves the confiscation of electronic devices belonging to key figures in the city's administration. Among those targeted are First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks III, and New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Caban.
