Federal agents approached Adams by his SUV on Monday before taking at least two cell phones and an iPad, according to the New York Times, citing two people with knowledge of the incident.
The devices — obtained through a court-authorized warrant — were returned to Adams within a few days, the Times reported.
The Times previously reported — citing a search warrant for the home of Adams’ chief fund-raiser, Brianna Suggs — that there was no indication the investigation was targeting Adams, who has yet to be accused of any wrongdoing.
