NYC Mayor Adams' Chief Advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin Resigns Amid Federal Corruption Probe
Dec 15, 2024, 05:57 PM
Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the chief advisor to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, has abruptly resigned from her position amid ongoing federal and local investigations into corruption allegations. Lewis-Martin, who has been a close confidante of Adams for nearly four decades, was served a subpoena by federal authorities in September and had her phones seized upon returning from a trip to Japan. Her resignation comes as Manhattan prosecutors are reportedly presenting evidence to a grand jury, with potential charges expected as soon as this week. These charges may involve bribery and official misconduct related to the city's leasing of commercial properties, with possible connections to her son, a professional D.J., and a hotelier. Despite the investigations, Mayor Adams praised her service and their long-standing friendship, suggesting her departure was planned but still difficult. Lewis-Martin's exit is the latest in a series of high-profile resignations from Adams' administration, which has been embroiled in multiple probes.
