Mayor Eric Adams' administration is under federal investigation, with several top officials having their homes raided and electronic devices seized. Authorities are probing allegations of corruption and influence-peddling, including whether Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks and consultant Terence Banks steered city contracts and accepted kickbacks. The investigation also involves NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban and other high-ranking officials. Investigators are focused on the NYPD's enforcement practices related to nightlife establishments and the potential misconduct of officials acting as fixers for local businesses. The probe is separate from an earlier investigation into Adams' 2021 mayoral campaign and potential illegal donations linked to Turkey. Mayor Adams has assured the public of his administration's innocence and commitment to legal compliance, despite the turmoil.
