“There is no question that Eric Adams is corrupt. In September, he was accused of, among other things, receiving unreported benefits from business people and a government official from Turkey, applying pressure to FDNY to skip a fire inspection on his patrons’ behalf, and defrauding the city of New York out of $10 million in public campaign fund subsidies. The top members of his administration clearly had no faith in either his innocence or that he had covered his tracks particularly well, because the moment they caught wind of an investigation they fled like rats from a sinking ship. … Trump is seeking to leverage the charges to control the executive branch of New York City.” (02/18/25)
