Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

FBI Raids Homes of Four Top Members of NYC Mayor Eric Adams’s Inner Circle

HeadlineSep 06, 2024

Here in New York, federal agents have raided the homes of at least four top officials with the administration of Mayor Eric Adams. On Wednesday, agents reportedly seized phones and other devices from First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, Deputy Mayor for Criminal Justice Philip Banks III, NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban, and Timothy Pearson, a former high-ranking police official and top adviser to Adams. It’s unclear why the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York ordered the raids; so far, Mayor Adams has not been charged with a crime. Last November, federal agents seized phones and a laptop from Adams’s home and raided the home of his campaign treasurer as part of an investigation into whether the campaign received illegal donations from Turkey.
