The interim New York City Police Department (NYPD) commissioner said in a statement posted Saturday to the social platform X that federal agents searched his homes and seized materials.
“On Friday, September 20, federal authorities executed search warrants at my residences,” Thomas G. Donlon said in the statement posted to the NYPD’s X account. “They took materials that came into my possession approximately 20 years ago and are unrelated to my work with the New York City Police Department.”
“This is not a department matter, and the department will not be commenting,” the statement continued.
Earlier this month, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said New York Police Commissioner Edward Caban had resigned, shortly after the FBI seized Caban’s devices in a federal investigation.
