NEW YORK (AP) — A former top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams was hit Thursday with a second wave of bribery charges, with prosecutors alleging she exchanged political favors for cash, home renovations and a speaking role on a TV show.
Ingrid Lewis-Martin, Adams’ closest confidant and former chief of staff, was among seven people indicted by the Manhattan district attorney’s office in a sweeping expansion of a corruption probe that has dogged the mayor’s administration for two years.
