"Eric Adams' Campaign: Controversial Donations and Colliding Crises"

TL;DR
The FBI is investigating whether the campaign of New York City Mayor Eric Adams conspired with a Turkish-owned university and a construction company to illegally funnel foreign money into the campaign. The investigation comes after the campaign accepted and returned $10,000 in donations from employees of Bay Atlantic University, a small Turkish-owned institution. Federal agents recently raided the home of a top fundraiser for Adams' campaign. Adams claims to have no knowledge of improper fundraising activity or involvement of foreign money. The donations were refunded, but the investigation continues.
