New York, New York United States of America
Federal agents executed a search warrant at the Brooklyn home of Brianna Suggs, a top fundraiser and campaign consultant for New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Suggs has earned $150,000 from Adams' campaigns and also started her own lobbying firm, Brianna Suggs & Associates Inc., in 2021.
The investigation is related to campaign donations made by KSK Construction Group, a construction company based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Federal agents executed a search warrant at the Brooklyn home of Brianna Suggs, a top fundraiser and campaign consultant for New York City Mayor Eric Adams, on November 2, 2023. The FBI confirmed that a court-authorized law enforcement action had been carried out at the address. The reason for the raid remains unclear, however, it is known that the investigation is related to campaign donations made by KSK Construction Group, a construction company based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Federal law enforcement is investigating whether the construction company and Turkish nationals made improper donations to Mayor Adams' 2021 campaign.

Suggs, who is not a City Hall employee, has earned $150,000 from Adams' campaigns. She also started her own lobbying firm, Brianna Suggs & Associates Inc., in 2021. In addition to her fundraising efforts, Suggs has lobbied Adams' administration on behalf of a real estate client. Her dual role as a mayoral fundraiser and a lobbyist for real estate clients with interests before the city has previously drawn scrutiny from good government groups.

The news of the raid came shortly after Mayor Adams abruptly canceled a string of planned meetings in Washington, D.C. and returned to New York. This incident follows a legal issue in September where a former NYC Department of Buildings commissioner was indicted for a bribery scheme involving high-ranking Adams administration employees, though Adams was not accused of any wrongdoing.
