The FBI is reportedly probing New York City Mayor Eric Adams for allegedly pressuring FDNY officials into clearing the Turkish consulate's high rise building in Manhattan.

The FBI is reportedly investigating New York City Mayor Eric Adams for possibly clearing the red tape to open a high rise housing the Turkish consulate in Manhattan. The New York Times, citing three people with knowledge of the matter, first reported Sunday that Adams, after winning the Democratic primary, allegedly contacted then-New York Fire Department Commissioner Daniel A.

In a statement on Friday, Adams, a former police captain, said he had 'nothing to hide.' 'As a former member of law enforcement, I expect all members of my staff to follow the law and fully cooperate with any sort of investigation — and I will continue to do exactly that,' he said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
