The federal criminal investigation into New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams' ties to the Turkish government - specifically whether he conspired with them to funnel illegal foreign donations to his campaign - has reportedly widened to include five more countries.
The New York Times reported that prosecutors subpoenaed City Hall, Adams, and his campaign two months ago for information related to China, Qatar, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and Israel.
Adams is under criminal investigation over potential corruption stemming from actions involving the Turkish government.
Adams has seen numerous people in his orbit come under criminal investigation over the last year.
A consultant, Terence Banks, brother of Philip Banks and David Banks, was also searched.
The feds raided the home of Adams' director of Asian Affairs, Winnie Greco, earlier this year as part of a criminal probe run by the Eastern District of New York, the Times said.
His former buildings commissioner, Eric Ulrich, faces bribery charges, and several donors to Adams' campaign have been charged in a straw-donor scheme.
