Mayor Eric Adams spoke out Sunday morning for the first time since the FBI seized his phones and iPad last week amid an ongoing investigation into his 2021 campaign fundraising.
“What I am really hoping is that these periodic leaks stop,” Adams said.
Adams also reiterated that he is cooperating with the FBI investigation.
“We need to do this together so all the facts can come out,” Adams said.
The mayor was in Rockaway Park Sunday morning for the annual American Airlines Flight 587 memorial service.
Adams responded to questions from reporters for less than a minute as he was leaving the scene.
“This is not the place to have this conversation,” Adams said before getting into his car. “You know, we do open questions on Tuesday. We are looking forward to that.”
Adams left the memorial service before families of the Flight 587 victims laid out roses. The mayor then later canceled a scheduled 11:30 a.m. appearance at a church in Brooklyn.
The FBI seizure of the mayor’s electronic devices came days after federal agents raided the Brooklyn home of Adams’ chief fundraiser, Brianna Suggs.
Multiple reports said the Suggs raid was part of a probe into whether the Adams campaign conspired with a Brooklyn construction company and the Turkish government to funnel foreign money into his campaign.
