New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been issued a federal grand jury subpoena as part of an investigation into corruption and illegal campaign donations. The subpoenas, issued in July, also targeted City Hall and Adams' 2021 mayoral campaign committee, requesting a variety of materials such as text messages and communications.
The investigation, which has been ongoing for several months, is focused on possible public corruption and foreign influence. While Adams was not personally served, his attorneys and City Hall's counsel received the subpoenas. The request for information covers issues related to links to Turkey and foreign travel, with investigators seeking more details on items that raised red flags.
