The FBI investigation into Mayor Eric Adams is focused on campaign money, favors, and possible foreign influence. Adams has a long and proud relationship with the Turkish-American community of New York City, and he has made a half a dozen trips to Turkey. The FBI is also looking into those trips and one of the locations searched on Nov. 2 was the residence of an executive from Turkish Airlines.
The FBI is investigating contacts with Turkish government officials in New York and in Turkey to determine if a foreign government used businessmen and Turkish expats to curry favor with Adams and further Turkey's business interests in New York
