Adams canceled his trip to Washington, D.C. and returned home amid the raid development.

As RadarOnline.com reported, Adams previously came under fire when the Times accused the NYC mayor of “doctoring” a photo of a murdered police officer earlier this year.

The outlet claimed that the photo was a printed-out Google image that was provided to Adams by an aide and doctored to make it appear aged.

Adams’ office fired back at the paper’s claims and called the Times “disgusting.”

"It is disgusting that The New York Times has chosen to have Robert Venable's friends and family relive the tragic murder of a loved one for nothing more than feeding its obsession with dissecting every single moment of Mayor Adams' life as the paper continues its unsuccessful campaign to paint the mayor as a liar," Adams spokesman Fabien Levy said at the time.
