This is really heating up now.
A while ago, several aides had their homes raided. Now today this massive raid of such high ranking people in the Adams administration.
Some people are obviously talking.
A posse of FBI agents early Wednesday raided the homes of three of the highest ranking members of Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, Schools Chancellor David Banks and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks III, sources familiar with the situation told THE CITY.
Agents showed up around 5 a.m. at the Hamilton Heights townhouse of Wright and David Banks, while simultaneously descending upon Philip Banks’ brick and clapboard single family in Hollis, a source said.
A neighbor of Phil Banks’ home in Queens told THE CITY they woke up to a disturbance Wednesday morning and about 15 agents were on the street.
Wright is the fiancé of David Banks, who is Phil Banks’ brother and was appointed schools chancellor by Adams. The chancellor was seen by THE CITY entering and leaving the Hamilton Heights townhouse twice on Thursday. Asked about the raid, David Banks declined to comment, saying, “Today is the first day of school, and I am thrilled,” he said, jumping into a SUV to head to a scheduled appearance at a school in Queens.
The purpose of the raids is not clear, but the source said the cell phones and laptops of Wright and Philip Banks were taken. The FBI raids follow others the bureau has performed on Adams and top advisors.
