Adams' Ex-Adviser Gives Reporter Cash

Investigations into the Eric Adams administration, a former adviser to United States — New York City Mayor Eric Adams and current volunteer for his reelection campaign, attempted to give a reporter from The City (website), Katie Honan, a potato chip bag filled with cash after a campaign event. Katie Honan discovered a red envelope with a $100 bill and several $20 bills inside the bag and promptly reported the incident to her editors and authorities. Investigations into the Eric Adams administration's attorney claimed it was a cultural gesture of friendship, not a bribe, while Investigations into the Eric Adams administration herself apologized, calling it a 'mistake.' In response, Eric Adams' campaign suspended Investigations into the Eric Adams administration from all volunteer activities, stating Eric Adams had no prior knowledge of the incident. This event adds to a series of federal investigations surrounding Eric Adams' administration, including past searches of Investigations into the Eric Adams administration's properties by the United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation and a dismissed indictment against Eric Adams by the United States — United States Department of Justice. Another Eric Adams adviser, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, is also facing new bribery allegations from the United States — Harris County District Attorney s Office.
