According to the New York Post, the church was subpoenaed by federal investigators last week in regard to its relationship between Adams, Gigantiello and Adams’ ex-chief of staff Frank Carone.It was alleged that the subpoena was linked to the ‘Feather’ music video and the church’s corruption regarding the approval of the video to be filmed there.
