Federal authorities are now looking into some private emails and records of trips that were made to China by Eric Adams and a key aide, who, by the way, had their private home raided, according to a new report from The New York Post. The article, by contributor Isabel Vincent, stated that federal prosecutors and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have pinpointed one particular trip that was taken by Adams that was funded by the Chinese Communist Party.
My friends, that is most certainly not a good look for the mayor of one of the most important big cities in the United States. This should tell you where the actual roots of the liberal ideology lie. Anyone who would participate in a trip to China partly paid for by communists who hate our way of life is no friend to the American way of life.
Adams made seven trips to China between 2014 and 2021 when he was Brooklyn Borough President, organized by key adviser Winnie Grecowho ran the non-profit Sino-America New York Brooklyn Archway Association Corp. and was then a volunteer at Adam’s office.
The discoveries were made as part of a widening investigation into alleged public corruption involving Greco and the New York City mayor, a source close to the probe told The Post.
The mayor’s office provided email correspondence from the 2014 trip with the Conflicts of Interest Board, the independent agency that enforces ethics for the city, which stated they “saw no apparent violation of the conflict of interest law” from the trip.
A document that was seen by The Post back in December 2023 revealed that Antonio Reynoso, the Brooklyn Borough President, stated that his administration could not locate data that was relevant to the China trips. In said document, the general counsel for Reynoso’s office brought up concerns that the information would be relevant to the current FBI investigation, but does not have any means by which to trace it.
“Because the prior administration … might have kept records such as those outside this office’s infrastructure … it is possible that this office does not maintain the records,” the nine-page letter from Gregory Louis went on to say. “I note that this office would lack access to the prior administration’s records maintained on private servers.”
It is unclear what specific evidence the federal government is seeking to find about Adams’ China trips or how it would fit into a wider investigation, or what they believe was discussed in their private emails. Adams’ mayoral office provided The Post with an outline produced after the 2014 trip showing visits to schools and museums as well as numerous meetings with local officials in Beijing, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Yiwu and Shanghai.
A breakdown of the costs related to the trips reveals that $787 was paid by the Chinese Communist Party or CCP, with almost $7,000 covered by Sino-America. After the conclusion of excursion, Adams wrote, “We have had great government meetings” in an email that was seen by The Post.
One has to wonder what that statement means. Is Adams attempting to help grow the presence and influence of the CCP in the United States by working with them in some capacity on projects related to New York City? What a horrifying thought.
Adams used three personal emails, including [email protected], which did not store their data on New York City government servers while he was Brooklyn Borough President, according to sources. Greco and their aides also used non-official emails during that seven year time period, the source said. Adams was sworn in as mayor of New York City on Jan. 1, 2022.
The Mayor’s office noted he is allowed to use private email addresses for non-governmental matters. In addition to Adams and Greco, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, deputy Brooklyn borough president and now senior policy adviser to the mayor, also used a private Gmail and AOL account, emails seen by The Post show.
Greco, who is now 61, is currently the head of Asian affairs for NYC and is also a longtime “consultant” to organizations that are backed by the CCP. Adams himself has been involved in more than his fair share of Chinese community events in the city, which includes a number of parades and fancy dinners.
Greco and other members of the nonprofit have failed to provide valid explanations for where the money for the China trips came from when they were asked by reporters at the time.
“In February, FBI agents raided homes in the Bronx owned by Greco. She has also come under scrutiny by the city’s Department of Investigation over allegations she improperly used her City Hall position to obtain perks, including renovations to her properties. The DOI probe is ongoing, a spokeswoman for the agency told The Post Friday,” The Post wrote.
The report then said, “Last year, FBI agents seized Adams’ electronic devices as part of a probe into his campaign fundraising, The Post revealed. At that time, the feds also raided the homes of a City Hall staffer and chief fundraiser Brianna Suggs.”
And that’s not all.
The FBI has also started looking into the business class upgrades that Adams has received on Turkish Airlines as part of the investigation into his 2021 campaign finances.
A Democrat who is involved in corruption and could potentially be working alongside Communists? Just another day ending in “y.”
