Top Eric Adams aide indicted on corruption charges
Ingrid Lewis-Martin, New York City Mayor Eric Adams‘s chief adviser, was indicted on corruption charges Thursday.
Lewis-Martin already turned in her resignation on Sunday before her indictment, released by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Bragg alleges she gave special treatment to a pair of real estate developers in exchange for more than $100,000. He also says that the developers provided Lewis-Martin’s son help with setting up a Chick-fil-A franchise.

Bragg is charging Lewis-Martin, her son Glenn, and the two developers. All four pleaded not guilty Thursday. Lewis-Martin is being charged with bribery, money laundering and conspiracy.
“We will continue to root out corruption; New Yorkers deserve no less,” Bragg said.
Lewis-Martin’s attorney echoed some of Adams’s past sentiments in saying he believed the case is politically motivated.
“We’re very confident that New Yorkers, using their common sense in this courthouse, will understand the ridiculousness of these charges,” he said.
Lewis-Martin is the latest person in Adams’s circle to face legal scrutiny for her actions. Before the mayor was indicted in September, several people around him had already either resigned or been indicted themselves.
Former Department of Buildings commissioner Eric Ulrich was indicted on bribery charges in September 2023 after the Manhattan district attorney’s office said he used his position for financial benefit and for New York Mets season tickets.
Federal officials also charged former City Hall official Mohamed Bahi in October for witness tampering and destruction of evidence relating to their investigation of Adams.
