Could the FBI’s investigation send New York mayor Eric Adams to prison?

Suspected campaign donations from the Turkish government have led to the seizure of Adams' phones. How bad could things get for the country's most powerful mayor?

On 2 November, FBI agents executed a predawn raid on the home of the New York City mayor's chief fundraiser, 25-year-old Brianna Suggs - seizing phones, an iPad and documents. Agents also reportedly searched the home of a Turkish Airlines executive and a Brooklyn construction company owned by Turkish immigrants that had fundraised for the mayor, Eric Adams.

Days later, agents approached Adams in the street as he was leaving a Manhattan fundraiser and asked his security guards to step aside. Then they got into an SUV with him and seized two iPhones and an iPad. They returned those devices after a few days.
