New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been issued a federal grand jury subpoena as part of an investigation into corruption and illegal campaign donations, according to two sources familiar with the matter. City Hall and Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign committee also received a set of subpoenas, which were issued in July and cover a variety of materials including text messages, communications and other documents, one of the sources said. The subpoenas are the latest development in the monthslong investigation into Adams and his campaign that has focused on possible public corruption and foreign influence. The New York Times was first to report on the new subpoenas. Fabien Levy, the mayor’s chief spokesperson, repeated much of what the mayor has said since the investigation began – denying that Adams did anything wrong and highlighting his cooperation with the investigation. “As a former member of law enforcement, the mayor has been clear over the last nine months that he will cooperate with any investigation underway. Nothing has changed,” Levy said. “He expects everyone to cooperate to swiftly bring this investigation to a close,” Levy said.
