Why a federal investigation into Mayor Adams’ campaign appears to be deepening

WNYC News | Nov 13, 2023

A federal investigation into New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ campaign and allegedly illegal campaign donations from Turkish officials is intensifying. Adams has not been accused of wrongdoing, but the probe directly involved the mayor for the first time after FBI agents approached him with a search warrant and seized several of his electronic devices last week.

WNYC’s Elizabeth Kim, who covers City Hall, broke down what happened and what it means with Morning Edition host Michael Hill.
