The FBI seized Mayor Eric Adams’ electronics early this week as part of a federal corruption probe tied to his 2021 campaign, The Post has learned.

The feds seized the devices in connection to an investigation into whether Hizzoner’s campaign colluded with the Turkish government and others to direct money into his mayoral effort, sources told The Post, after the news was first reported by the New York Times.

Agents reportedly approached Adams, 63, on the street and asked his security team to step aside, a source told the Time.

The agents then got into Adams’ SUV with him and executed a court-authorized warrant to seize his devices — including at least two cellphones and an iPad.

The electronics were returned to the mayor within a few days, the sources said.
