Federal agents descended on the home of a top cash-handler for high-rolling New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday—further rattling an administration already wracked by a straw donor scandal.

The New York Times reported that the FBI sweep of consultant Brianna Suggs’ residence coincided with Adams deciding to cancel a slate of scheduled meetings in Washington, D.C. regarding the ongoing migrant crisis at the last minute, even as the mayor’s office denied knowledge of the incident. A source further told the paper that the bureau’s public corruption unit questioned the fundraising ace.

Suggs did not immediately respond to calls or text messages from The Daily Beast.
