    The FBI seized Adams’ electronic devices as part of an investigation into whether his 2021 mayoral campaign’s fundraising.

    That’s some expert journalism right there.

      I don’t see the problem. Did his 2021 mayoral campaign’s fundraising or did his 2021 mayoral campaign’s not fundraising?

      It’s goodly perfection English!

      Expert editing.

      That’s one of the primary functions of the editor. Depending on the outfit though, editorial oversight may not be required or even a thing really. Publishing approval may be from the writer directly, which also likely means no one else read over it after it was completed to find easily avoidable issues from rephrasing and reorganizing sentences.
