NYC's Interim Police Chief: Federal Agents Searched My Homes!

NYC's Interim Police Chief's Homes Searched by Federal Agents

New York City's interim police commissioner, Thomas Donlon, revealed on Saturday that federal authorities had searched his homes the previous day. The news comes just a week after Donlon took over the role following the resignation of his predecessor, Edward Caban, who was also under investigation by federal authorities.

Donlon stated in a statement released by the police department that the searches were related to materials he came into possession approximately 20 years ago and are unrelated to his current work with the NYPD. The statement did not disclose the specific nature of the investigation, the authorities involved, or the materials seized.

This latest development adds to a string of federal investigations involving officials in the administration of Mayor Eric Adams, including the recent seizure of electronic devices from Caban and other key figures. However, it is unclear whether the search of Donlon's homes is connected to any of the other ongoing investigations.

Donlon's career spans decades in law enforcement, including a long stint with the FBI where he worked on significant terrorism cases, such as the investigation into the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Donlon's appointment as commissioner just a week ago was seen as a stabilizing move for the police department following Caban's resignation.

Despite the ongoing investigations, Mayor Adams has stated that he will not be distracted and will continue to serve the city.
