Sources familiar with the matter confirmed to the Daily News this week the probe is scrutinizing trips Greco and Adams took to China that were partially paid by China’s Communist government. The investigation’s reportedly also looking into Greco’s role in hosting fundraisers for Adams’ 2021 campaign that drew contributions that have sparked straw donor concerns.

Greco didn’t return a request for comment on word that the feds are looking at her trips to China with the mayor.

Adams spokesman Fabien Levy said the trips, which the mayor went on while Brooklyn borough president, was cleared by the city Conflicts of Interest Board.

The Brooklyn U.S. attorney’s office, which is leading the Greco probe, declined to comment on the Mui meeting.

Neither Greco nor anyone else in the mayor’s orbit have been accused of wrongdoing by the feds.

Before joining Adams’ administration as his Asian community liaison, Greco was a consultant for New York-based influence groups that receive funding from China’s regime.

Greco, who along with Lewis-Martin is one of Adams’ longest-serving advisers, returned to work at City Hall in May after going on paid sick leave following the FBI raids.

At the time of his sitdown with Lewis-Martin and Greco, Mui had been a registered Chinese agent for nearly eight months.

The Justice Department ordered Mui and Sing Tao to register in August 2021 after determining the company’s U.S. operations constitute foreign government influence activity. The U.S. government’s determination that Sing Tao’s a foreign agent came after the daughter of a billionaire member of the Chinese Communist Party’s political arm bought a majority stake in the company in the summer of 2021.

Mui has other connections to Adams’ orbit.
