Corruption Scandal Expands for NYC Mayor Eric Adams and Associates

A series of fresh corruption charges have emerged against Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the former top adviser to NYC Mayor Eric Adams, amid ongoing investigations into bribery schemes involving several city officials. Lewis-Martin and others, including close associates of Adams, have been indicted in a sprawling corruption probe that allegedly includes significant bribes and pay-to-play arrangements. Notably, the Argentos, owners of Broadway Stages, are accused of bribing Lewis-Martin to halt a bike lane redesign on McGuinness Boulevard. As the mayoral election approaches, the scope of the scandal is expanding, with new indictments expected and accusations swirling around multiple former advisers. This scandal poses a significant challenge for Adams, as the legal turmoil continues to shake his administration.
