Feds raid Queens hotel with city shelter contract, owned by Mayor Adams donor: sources

The feds have raided a Queens hotel contracted by the city to house homeless people — and owned by a donor to Mayor Eric Adams, The Post has learned.

Federal agents searched the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Fresh Meadows last Thursday on a warrant from the US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, sources said.

It’s not clear what records investigators were seeking, or whether the raid — first reported by the non-profit newsroom The City — was part of the slew of federal inquiries surrounding Adams and his allies.

The hotel is owned by Weihong Hu, a Chinese hotel developer who allegedly packaged tens of thousands of donations for Adams’ mayoral campaigns, according to the outlet.

Hu, who has not been accused of wrongdoing, also donated $2,000 to the mayor’s 2021 campaign, as well as to his then-opponent Andrew Yang, campaign records show. Both donations were the maximum allowed in that election cycle. Calls to Hu’s attorney Tuesday were not returned.
