NYC Mayor Eric Adams' ex-chief adviser, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, to encounter further accusations, according to legal representation
In a recent development, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, a former chief adviser to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, is facing additional charges. The details of these new charges have not been disclosed by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
Lewis-Martin is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday to face these new accusations. Her lawyer, Arthur Aidala, has asserted that she has always served the city with integrity and will plead not guilty to every charge.
This isn't the first time Lewis-Martin has been embroiled in legal troubles. Previously, she and her son, Glenn Martin II, were charged with taking $100,000 in bribes from two businessmen in exchange for official favours. Both individuals pleaded not guilty to these charges.
Meanwhile, Eric Adams is not expected to be charged with any wrongdoing in connection to the charges against Lewis-Martin. A spokesperson for Mayor Adams stated that he remains focused on serving the 8.5 million New Yorkers and making their city safer and more affordable.
In a separate matter, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning not to eat possibly radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart. The warning about the radioactive shrimp was issued on August 20. Customers are advised to check their purchases and return any affected items.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the city of New York continues to move forward, with its mayor dedicated to serving its citizens and ensuring their well-being. The expedited trial schedule being requested for Lewis-Martin will likely bring clarity to the situation in the near future.
