Agents approached Adams after an event Monday night and requested his devices, Boyd Johnson, a lawyer for the mayor’s campaign organization, said in a statement.
A source familiar with the matter said the mayor handed over two cellphones and an iPad after the event and later turned over additional electronic devices.
The search was part of a federal campaign finance investigation, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
That search prompted the mayor to cancel a planned trip to meet with White House officials in Washington and instead return to New York.
NBC New York reported earlier this month that Adams, who was not yet halfway through his first term as mayor, had raised more than $2 million for his re-election campaign.
Adams, who retired from the New York Police Department at the rank of captain, campaigned as a tough-on-crime Democrat who would increase NYPD staffing and funding.
