Everyone in Mayor Mixxy, aka Eric Adams' tightrope, is getting unwanted visits from the Feds.
THE New York Post exhibitions that federal agents raided the homes of New York City Commissioner Edward Campan, Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Phil Banks and the mansion shared by Schools Chancellor David Banks and First Vice Mayor Sheena Wright with search warrants in hand.
According to the newspaper, the feds seized their electronic devices during Wednesday's raid.
Law enforcement officials also revealed that Phil and David Banks' brother, Terence Banks, a former MTA official who now does consulting work, was drawn into the raid frenzy.
Retired NYPD Inspector Timothy Pearson also had his electronic devices subpoenaed, law enforcement sources revealed.
The raids are part of a wide-ranging investigation into corruption in the Eric Adams campaign.
Per The New York Post:
It was unclear whether the raid on the Harlem home shared by Wright and David Banks targeted one or both of them.
The connections between the raids, subpoenas and other law enforcement sweeps targeting Campan, other New York City officials and City Hall bigwigs remained murky Thursday.
But sources said the top cop and others in the department were targeted as part of a sweeping corruption probe involving influence peddling.
Caban's twin brother, James Caban, a former New York City sergeant, was served with a search warrant with a subpoena, sources said. Investigators are looking into his role in the world of nightlife enforcement, sources said.
Sources confirmed that NYPD Chief of Staff Raul Pintos and two precinct commanders in Manhattan and Queens were told to turn in their phones.
The feds are also investigating NYPD officers, from precinct commanders down, who serve in Midtown South and other areas with a heavy nightlife presence, sources said.
None of the people involved have been charged with crimes.
Adams broke his silence on the raids, saying, “As you've heard me say time and time again, as a former law enforcement person, we will always follow the law, and that's what this administration has always stood for and will continue to stand for ».
He continued, “Whatever information is needed, we will deliver.”
Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York are leading the investigation and have circled Adams since his 2021 campaign.
We'll see what more information comes out of this investigation.
