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.
