The same day Mayor Adams was indicted on wire fraud and bribery charges, FBI agents probing the NYPD raided a downtown Manhattan office building where two top mayoral advisors, both former cops, work, police sources said.
The feds were “looking for records,” sources said, signing into the visitors log at around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday for the records section on the 16th floor of 375 Pearl St., otherwise known as the Verizon Building.
NYPD Deputy Mayor Phil Banks and mayoral aide Timothy Pearson work on the floor, the sources noted.
The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York declined to comment on the search.
The feds are also looking at whether bribes were paid for NYPD promotions and transfers, another source familiar with the investigation said.
