On Thursday, FBI agents searched the home of Brianna Suggs, the chief fundraiser for New York City Mayor Eric Adams' election campaign. Suggs was also questioned by public corruption investigators, according to city officials and local media.
The mayor had been in Washington for meetings concerning the city's shelter crisis for asylum seekers and other recently arrived migrants. However, Adams abruptly canceled those meetings in order to return to New York when he heard of the issue related to his campaign.
Suggs has been with Adams since 2017, when she was an intern in his office when he was the Brooklyn borough president. During Adams' successful 2021 mayoral election, Suggs managed to raise $18.4 million and has overseen the contribution of more than $2.7 million for his 2025 reelection campaign.
Suggs was unavailable for comment, and spokespeople for the FBI were not responsive to requests for comment. The campaign released a statement from their counsel Vito Pitta, saying that Adams had been neither contacted nor involved in the inquiry.
The FBI confirmed that they were carrying out a “law enforcement action” at Suggs' home in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood. According to an unnamed source, Suggs was questioned by agents from the FBI's public corruption squad.
