The FBI has raided the homes of two of New York City Mayor Eric Adams‘ top aides.

Agents stormed the homes of First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks at 5am on Wednesday, The City reports.

The raids unfolded in tandem at Wright’s Hamilton Heights townhouse and Banks’ Hollis property. The reason for the raids currently remains unclear, but both officials reportedly had their electronic devices seized.

It comes after the FBI took Mayor Adams’ cell phone and laptop and raided the home of his campaign treasurer, Brianna Suggs, last November amid an investigation into his 2021 campaign.

The searches were part of a probe by the Manhattan US attorney into whether Adams’ campaign had conspired to obtain illegal foreign donations via a kickback scheme involving the Turkish government.
