The FBI seized the phones and iPad of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Zero Hedge reports.
The mayor’s lawyer confirmed the day before that the FBI seized the mayor’s phones and iPad as part of an investigation into the financing of his election campaign, the publication notes.
Eric Adams against the feds: FBI agents put on a whole show in New York, searching the mayor right in the middle of the street and taking away all his electronic devices, a political scientist writes in this regard on his Telegram channel Malek Dudakov. The bureau is investigating the receipt of bribes from Turkish lobbyists, the expert notes.
Adams’ assistant, who is accused of corrupt ties with Ankara, has already fallen under the rink of the investigation. Adams himself openly admitted that he often visits Turkey, although you expect the mayor of New York to deal with the problems of his metropolis, and not spend time on vacation with Turkish oligarchs.
Adams is a Democrat, but now he finds himself in a tough clinch with the US President’s team Joe Biden. Since the beginning of the year, New York has been flooded with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants. This led to a humanitarian catastrophe, since there was simply nowhere to place them. Adams actively criticizes the White House for its reluctance to solve the migration crisis.
The current criminal case could well be a response from Biden’s apparatchiks inside the Justice Department. They make it clear that they are ready to inflict nightmares with criminal cases not only Donald Trump, but also Biden’s opponents in the camp of the Democratic Party. Adams’ ratings are now low amid the rise in crime and the influx of illegal immigrants, and he will clearly not be allowed to be re-elected for a new term.
“But now a blow to Adams is also a blow to the Turkish lobby in the United States. A senator was recently arrested Menendez – a lobbyist for Armenians and Greeks, and now lobbyists for Turkey are also under pressure. True, this will complicate any attempts by the White House to hastily reach an agreement with Ankara on the war in Gaza. While the New York mayor’s office is paralyzed by legal wars, the metropolis continues to be plagued by pro-Palestinian rallies, making the situation in the city even more critical,” the expert sums up.
