esse Hamilton, a key figure in Mayor Eric Adams' real estate dealings, had his phone seized by state investigators at JFK Airport last week. This occurred simultaneously with the confiscation of devices from Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the mayor's chief adviser, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

    Hamilton, a former state senator, now oversees the city's vast real estate portfolio. The seizure of his phone is part of an ongoing investigation that has also targeted high-ranking officials in the Adams administration.
