Federal authorities have subpoenaed a dark political fund connected to one of Eric Adams' allies and the mayor's embattled top fundraiser, the Post reported.
The Rev. Alfred L. Cockfield's political action committee, For a Better New York, was subpoenaed in early November, people familiar with the matter told the Post.
The Eastern District of New York Fed requested financial records from the PAC Cockfield founded during Adams' 2021 mayoral campaign, according to people familiar with the matter. The purpose of the search remained unclear.
As detailed in the New York Times in 2022, the PAC came under scrutiny for donating very little of the $1.3 million it raised to political causes, while generously rewarding Cockfield. are collecting report.
In addition to Cockfield's ties to Adams, PAC also has ties to Brianna Suggs. Brianna Suggs is the chief fundraiser for the mayor whose Brooklyn home was raided by federal authorities in November 2023.
Suggs' attorney also did not respond to Cockfield's request for comment Tuesday.
A spokesperson for the Eastern District of New York declined to comment.
