The FBI on Thursday raided the home of Brianna Suggs, a top fundraiser for New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a law enforcement source tells Fox News. 

A LinkedIn profile belonging to Suggs had listed her as the "Fundraiser and Director of Logistics" of Adams' 2021 mayoral campaign. According to campaign finance records, the Adams 2025 campaign also has paid Suggs Solutions LLC $98,286.20. 

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Southern District as well as the FBI have declined to comment on the operation.

Vito Pitta, Adams 2021 campaign counsel, told Fox News Digital, "The campaign has always held itself to the highest standards. The campaign will of course comply with any inquiries, as appropriate."
