Mayor Eric Adams planned to collect campaign donations in Turkey for his 2025 re-election bid, according to newly unsealed documents from his high-profile corruption case.
The extensive filing, obtained by The Post Friday night, showed that Hizzoner attended a lavish January 2022 dinner with two staffers, where he expressed interest in visiting Turkey to solicit additional funds from local businessmen for his mayoral race.
Adams “welcomed the offer of foreign contributions” — and told his staff in a private area to coordinate and “arrange the contributions,” the filing states.
The scorching detail was included in court documents when Adams was indicted last September — when he became the first sitting New York City mayor to face criminal charges.
Though the 1,785 pages of court filings — made public after The Post and other outlets fought for access — shed some light on Adams’ murky plans when federal prosecutors requested a warrant for the mayor’s electronic communications during their investigation.
