Federal agents on Wednesday searched the homes of three top city officials close to Mayor Eric Adams, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The searches occurred at the Queens home of the deputy mayor for public safety, Philip Banks III, and a home in Harlem shared by the first deputy mayor, Sheena Wright, and her partner, Schools Chancellor David C. Banks, the people said. It was unclear if the search of the home shared by the chancellor and the first deputy mayor targeted one of them or both.

The searches do not appear related to the federal investigation into Mayor Eric Adams and his campaign fund-raising, according to people familiar with the matter.
