FBI har slagit till mot New Yorks borgmästare

Eric Leroy Adams (born September 1, 1960) is an American politician and former police officer, serving since 2022 as the 110th mayor of New York City. Adams was an officer in the New York City Transit Police and then the New York City Police Department for more than 20 years, retiring at the rank of captain. He served in the New York State Senate from 2006 to 2013, representing the 20th Senate district in Brooklyn. In November 2013, Adams was elected Brooklyn Borough President, the first African-American to hold the position, and reelected in November 2017. On November 17, 2020, Adams announced his candidacy for mayor of New York City. On July 6, 2021, the Associated Press (AP) declared Adams the winner of the 2021 Democratic mayoral primary. Adams defeated Republican Curtis Sliwa in the general election in a landslide victory. Adams was sworn in as mayor shortly after midnight on January 1, 2022. As mayor, he has taken what is seen as a tough-on-crime approach and reintroduced a plain-clothed unit of police officers that had been disbanded by the previous administration. He has also implemented a zero-tolerance policy on unhoused people sleeping in subway cars alongside increased police presence.In November 2023, Adams had his phones and iPad seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of a corruption probe into a campaign's fundraising.
