NEW YORK — Federal investigators this week seized phones from New York City's police commissioner and at least three top deputies to New York Mayor Eric Adams, according to people familiar with the matter.
The searches add to a roster of investigative activity around Adams's administration, his campaign and the first-term Democrat himself. He previously received subpoenas and had his electronics seized in federal inquiries. He told reporters earlier at City Hall that if the administration has information that’s needed, it will be turned over, “and I’m going to continue to be the mayor of the City of New York.”
Benjamin Brafman, an attorney for Philip Banks, confirmed that a search was conducted on the homes of Philip Banks and his brother Terence, a consultant.He took office as mayor in 2022 after serving as Brooklyn's borough president and as a state senator. One of the people with knowledge of the matter has said that the recent subpoenas requested information about the mayor’s schedule, his overseas travel and potential connections to the Turkish government.
Pearson, whom the mayor has described as a “good friend,” occupies an unusual role in city government, working for the quasi-public Economic Development Corporation, while retaining influence over the police department. He is currently facing multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexually harassing female employees, and he is facing a separate investigation for his role in a brawl at a shelter for homeless migrants.
