Mayor Eric Adams has ‘no idea’ grand jury called for campaign corruption probe: ‘I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer’
NY Post
Mayor Eric Adams boisterously asserted he had “no idea” a grand jury had convened for the federal corruption probe into his campaign fundraising.
“I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer. I’m Eric Adams — the mayor! Ex-cop!” Hizzoner told clambering reporters upon his arrival at the 39th Annual 116th Street Festival in East Harlem Saturday.
“No idea. No idea. No idea,” he added as his team shot down further questions from the media.
Adams, 63, arrived two hours late to the Latin Festival just one day after The Post reported that the grand jury was reviewing evidence in the FBI probe — likely for the purpose of issuing subpoenas in the case.
At least one person connected to the mayor was served a subpoena linked to the investigation, sources said.
Adams claimed he wasn’t aware of the recent developments — despite repeatedly admitting he is a close reader of The Post.
