Federal agents descended on the home of a top cash-handler for high-rolling New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday—further rattling an administration already wracked by a straw donor scandal.
The New York Times reported that the FBI sweep of consultant Brianna Suggs’ residence coincided with Adams deciding to cancel a slate of scheduled meetings in Washington, D.C. regarding the ongoing migrant crisis at the last minute, even as the mayor’s office denied knowledge of the incident.
Public records show Suggs has soaked up nearly $150,000 to date from Adams’ campaign, including $30,000 for fundraising work—plus more than $100,000 from a political action committee allied with the Big Apple’s top Democrat.
