  • A top aide to New York Mayor Eric Adams abruptly resigned less than three months after investigators from the Manhattan district attorney's office took her phones and searched her house as part of one of several probes that have enveloped City Hall.

A top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Rana Abbasova, resigned on Monday following a federal investigation into the mayor's 2021 campaign. The resignation came months after federal prosecutors searched her home and seized her electronic devices in November. Abbasova, who served as the mayor's director of protocol, was involved in an inquiry focusing on potential illegal foreign donations from Turkey to Adams' campaign. Despite her resignation, Abbasova has not been charged with any crime, and her attorney has stated that she has fully cooperated with the investigation. The investigation also led to searches at the homes of other campaign associates and the seizure of the mayor's electronic devices, although Adams has not been accused of wrongdoing.
