Boyd Johnson, an attorney for Adams' campaign, confirmed on Friday that Adams had provided the FBI with electronic devices after agents approached the mayor following an event on Monday night.
Johnson said the FBI requested the devices after Adams informed investigators of impropriety by an unidentified individual.
The devices seized from the mayor - at least two cellphones and an iPad - were returned within a matter of days, the Times said.
Adams' 2025 election campaign has paid Suggs's consulting firm, Suggs Solutions, about $98,000 so far, public records show.
