New York City Mayor Eric Adams has insisted he has not been accused of any wrongdoing amid FBI probes into his campaign fundraising and alleged role in greenlighting the new Turkish consulate building opening.

Federal authorities are reportedly investigating if back in 2021, Mr. Adams, acting as Brooklyn borough president and fresh off his win in the Democratic primary, was approached by Turkish officials for assistance in opening the new Turkish Consulate on Manhattan’s East Side.
