The FBI has seized the cell phones of New York City Mayor Eric Adams as part of a federal investigation into campaign fundraising. Mayor Adams has stated that he has nothing to hide.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul's lawyers criticized New York City Mayor Eric Adams' response to the migrant crisis in a 12-page letter, accusing the city of being slow to request regulatory changes and failing to inform the state of crucial decisions. The letter emphasized the financial strain caused by the crisis and urged the city to collaborate more proactively with the state. The state also questioned the city's management of funds and its decision to allow migrants to sleep on the streets. The city's deputy mayor of communications stated that the city has already spent over $1.7 billion and expects to spend $5 billion this fiscal year. Mayor Adams appealed to the federal government for assistance as expenses continue to mount.
