F.B.I. Raids Home of Eric Adams’s Fund-Raising Chief
The raid of the home of Brianna Suggs, a consultant with close ties to the mayor, came as Mr. Adams canceled a series of meetings in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.
If he did bad things, he should face bad consequences. Same for anyone else.
Adams is competing with DiBlasio’s legacy for disappointment.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The raid apparently prompted Mr. Adams to abruptly cancel several meetings scheduled for Thursday morning in Washington, D.C., to talk to White House officials and members of Congress about the influx of migrants in New York and other major cities.
Ms. Suggs, who could not immediately be reached for comment, is an essential cog in Mr. Adams’s fund-raising machine, which has already raised more than $2.5 million for his 2025 re-election campaign.
spokesman confirmed that “we are at that location carrying out law enforcement action,” referring to Ms. Suggs’s home in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
State records indicate that a real estate concern hired Ms. Suggs, via an intermediary, to lobby the mayor’s office and the New York City Council on its behalf in 2022.
A key ally’s political action committee, Striving for a Better New York, that promised to support state candidates aligned with Mr. Adams on policy matters, has paid Ms. Suggs roughly $100,000.
Mr. Adams’s decision to cancel high-level meetings with senior White House officials about an issue he has warned will hollow out New York’s budget and destroy the city suggested an unusual level of urgency.

Asked whether the matter was a personal issue or related to City Hall, officials refused to elaborate.
“He is returning to deal with a matter,” Mr. Lutvak said.
🤣😂🤣
Suggs to be you.
