The federal agency searched the Brooklyn home of Brianna Suggs -- a 25-year-old campaign consultant for Adams – and seized three iPhones and two laptop computers, along with papers and other evidence.
Investigators also took something agents identified as a "manila folder labeled Eric Adams," as well as seven "contribution card binders" and other materials, the New York Times reported, citing a search warrant the publication had obtained.
The raid was part of an inquiry into whether foreign money was funneled into his mayoral campaign, the publication reported, although it is understood that Adams is not being directly investigated.
Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI for comment but had not received a response at the time of publication.
Thursday’s raid in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn thrust Adams into the national spotlight since he was on his way to a meeting with President Biden and other mayors to discuss the illegal migrant crisis – only to turn around and make a dash back to the Big Apple. Adams had earlier in the day posted a video clip of him sitting in a D.C. bound plane before news of the raid broke.
