Winnie Greco, a staffer with 'substantial policy discretion,' is on leave after an FBI raid on her Bronx homes. Questions arise about her sudden addition to the list of top Adams administration officials under extra ethics scrutiny. Mayor Eric Adams denies being a target of any pending investigation despite federal probes involving his staff and campaign donations. Dubious campaign donations linked to the New World Mall, raided by the FBI, are under scrutiny. Greco's niece was hired as a 'special assistant,' adding to the intrigue surrounding the FBI's interest in the mall.
Why Is the FBI Interested in the New World Mall, Eric Adams’ Favorite Shopping Center? | THE CITY — NYC News. More good investigative work by @THECITYNY! I noticed in article that Greco’s niece was hired as a “special assistant”. So many of those https://t.co/5lKd0xeAz0
Dubious campaign donations to @nycmayor from supermarket cashiers and untraceable "thank you" dollars flowed through the New World Mall, raided by the FBI last week along with his Asian affairs chief's homes. What @THECITYNY & @Documentedny dug up there: https://t.co/z7Jxl2VUnr
There’s nothing to suggest Mayor Adams is the "target" of criminal probes in the wake of FBI raids at the homes of top City Hall adviser Winnie Greco, Adams’ chief counsel told reporters. https://t.co/q4kGdPm6fv
“We have no indication that the mayor is a target of any pending investigation," Mayor Eric Adams' chief counsel said today - distancing the city's leader from fedral probes for the second time in four months. https://t.co/IVdh9h2RzQ
"I can’t answer that question. I’m not the reviewer," @nycmayor, when asked why it is federal investigators are so interested in him and his staff. "I follow the law."

A key question looms over the sudden addition of FBI-raided Winnie Greco to the list of top Adams administration officials subject to extra ethics scrutiny and fundraising restrictions: Did @NYCCOIB order her name added, as it has the authority to do? https://t.co/tqwsNPfd0A
