Federal agents are probing Mayor Eric Adams’ use of a private email server and how records from seven different trips he made to China have disappeared, The Post has learned.
Both the FBI and Manhattan federal prosecutors have flagged at least one trip taken by Adams which was partly funded by the Chinese Communist Party when he headed up the Brooklyn Borough President’s Office.
The discoveries were made as part of a widening investigation into alleged public corruption involving the New York City Mayor and key advisor Winnie Greco, a source close to the probe told The Post.
Adams used three personal emails, including [email protected], which did not store their data on New York City government servers – meaning there is little or no trace of the arrangements for the China meetings, who paid for them, whom he met with and what was discussed.
Adams, Greco and their aides used the non-official servers and emails between 2014 and 2021 while he was Brooklyn Borough President (BBP), the source said. Adams was sworn in as Mayor of New York City on Jan. 1, 2022.
