N.J. Mayor's Home Raided By FBI

N.J. Mayor's Home Raided

The Federal Bureau Investigation conducted a predawn raid on Wednesday at the home of a New Jersey mayor, whose two-year administration of Trenton has been plagued by accusations nepotism and mismanagement.

FBI agents raided the home of Mayor Tony Mack at about 2 a.m. EDT but they did not reveal what they were looking for.

Agents also searched the homes of Mack’s brother, Ralphiel, and Joseph Giorgianni, who was one of the mayor’s biggest early campaign donors.

The mayor emerged later in the morning from his home, denied any wrongdoing.

"We have not violated the public trust, nor have I violated any of my public duties," he said. "And that’s all I have to say on the matter."

A citizens group last year failed to get enough signatures to force a recall election.
