Fox News
New York City Mayor Eric Adams' office says an FBI employees who might have leaked details of a federal corruption probe "undermines the integrity of our law enforcement process."
Reacting to the report in a statement provided to Fox News Digital, City Hall Chief Counsel Lisa Zornberg said, "The mayor and our team are continuing to work with investigators and cooperate. We hope that investigators will continue to cooperate with us and reprimand any federal officer who has improperly leaked details about this investigation as such conduct could prejudice the public and undermines the integrity of our law enforcement process."

According to the Times, Adams' unusual intervention came in the summer of 2021 after he won the Democratic mayoral primary but before the November general election. He was serving his second term as Brooklyn borough president at the time, and that role's jurisdiction does not include Manhattan. The FBI reportedly has been questioning FDNY officials since last spring.
