NEW YORK -- The federal investigation into donations made to Mayor Eric Adams ' 2021 campaign appears to be expanding. The feds have been scrutinizing donations from people connected to the Turkish government, but sources tell CBS News New York agents served subpoenas for information on five more foreign governments over the summer. Adams appeared to reference the latest details of the expanding investigation into his dealings with foreign governments at a town hall Monday night in the Bronx.
Last year, agents raided the home of Brianna Suggs, Adams' chief fundraiser. They were reportedly looking into whether the Adams campaign took illegal donations in exchange for pressuring the FDNY to approve a new Turkish consulate in Manhattan, despite safety concerns. The feds had examined free flights and upgrades the mayor received on Turkish Airlines, and sources said the July subpoenas sought additional information about the mayor's Turkish contacts.
