NEW YORK (AP) — Federal agents have searched two properties owned by a top adviser to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The FBI confirmed the raids conducted Thursday at two Bronx addresses. Records show the homes are owned by Winnie Greco. She is a longtime fundraiser for the mayor who serves as his director of Asian affairs. The purpose of the raid was not revealed, and it wasn’t immediately clear whether it was related to Adams. The Democrat had his phones seized by the FBI last year in a separate campaign fundraising investigation. There was no reply to a message seeking comment left at a number listed as Greco’s. A City Hall spokesperson says Greco has been placed on leave.
